My daughter is 18 weeks old.
Her right eye started getting sticky and muscous filled so I took her to GP assuming conjunctivitis and was prescribed eyedrops with no instructions on use...
On reading the leaflet that come with them it said to continue to use for 48 hour after symptoms clear. The eye improved quickly and never spread to the other eye within 3 days so I stopped using them after 48hr (5 days )
5 days later it reappeared
I spoke with pharmacist you agreed I had probably stopped a little too soon and its normally 7 days... And as I had stored in fridge as instructed to start again for 7 days.
This time symptoms have improved considerably but not completely gone ...so I went back to GP (who I have zero faith in)
He said if it was conjunctivitis it would have cleared by now with drops.. To stop using them and that it was "probably" a blockage and that it would sort itself out... Could be 3 weeks could be 3 months
And that was it
No follow up
No come back in X weeks
No swabs taken
I'm not sure what to do now
See another GP for second opinion ?
Insist on swabs being done?
Stop drops on his advice even though they have improved symptoms?
Anyone got any advice or been through similar??
