Newborn Conjunctivitis- Chloramphenicol?

Hi there, I have a 3 weeks old that has had sticky eyes for the last two weeks. I was told to keep it clean and use breast milk in it, I’ve done this but as soon as one clears the other eye starts again. Took him to the drs last week and the swabs came back saying it’s bacterial and he’s been prescribed chloramphenicol eye drops.

I’m a little anxious as he’s so young (he was 3 weeks early too). Has anyone else used these on newborns?

Hi There EllieCG,

We're really sorry to hear your DS is poorly - we would always advice seeking real life medical advice (which you've done) but we wanted to hop on and say hello.

Hopefully we've given this thread a bump for you now so some of our users should be along shortly with some support.

We hope your DS gets well soon.
