any advice of how to give eye drops

[devonshiredumpling]

my lo age 2 and a half has conjunctivitis so i have to give her drops but here is the problem every time i do them it sounds like i am killing her with the way she screams what am i doing wrong please help

Lie her down, slightly raise her head and put them into the lower eyelid then get her to close the eye.

Ignore the screaming. It's natural and she'll get over it. Conjunctivitis needs treating, so that's more important I'm afraid. I used to just pop a chocolate button in the mouth afterwards providing the drops hit the spot

As above, getting her to look upwards as you drop them into the bottom of her eye, pulling her lower lid down. Distract her with something above her head or get her to look at the tv above and behind her so she's looking up. You're aiming fir the white of her eye, the idea is to get the coloured bit out of the way.

Lying down, wrapped in a towel so no flailing arms and go for it. If she is anything like my DD she will be quite used to getting them in by the end of the course of drops

At work, we get people to close their eyes, pull the lower lid down gently and pop the drops in.

If you put pressure (lightly) on the tear ducts either side of the nose for a minute or so, it will minimize the taste of the drops.

Good lick
