DD 2yrs has gunky eyes for a few days, took her to doc and they've given me half the pharmacy. I don't live in UK so I'm used to this, but I really don't think every thing is necessary.
Doc said it was infective conjunctivitis, agreed, it's passed onto both eyes and she now has a snotty nose and a cough. The bacteria can travel to the nose and throat apparently. Lungs sounded normal on stethoscope so not deep.
So they've given me...
Nasal spray - Colda Maris- it's an anti viral...
Eye drops - optifresh - used to relieve dry eyes or piss off toddlers
Eye drops - fusidic acid - what the NHS uses to treat conjunctivitis, Antibiotic.
Oral antibiotic - clayrythromycin - NHS give it for whooping cough....dd had it for broncholitis last year
cough syrup - Amydramine - treatment for upper respiratory tract congestion. Antihistamines are mentioned.
So as far as I can see she is being treated for a bacterial infection with antibiotics, anti viral and antihistamines.
WWYD?
