hey guys. Sorry for so many posts! My 9 month old has an eye infection (conjunctivitis) in both his eyes now and he’s been rubbing his eyes and itching a lot. We’re using chloramphenicol eye drops that the GP prescribed and it’s been difficult to get those in his eyes. I feel so helpless seeing him so uncomfortable and constantly rubbing his eyes. How can I stop him from rubbing his eyes? Also, is it normal that his eye infection is causing a rash on his face? He has small spots all over his cheeks and he keeps itching constantly. It’s so upsetting seeing him like this 😭 I don’t know what to do. Again guys, I’m sorry for so many posts! I just don’t know what to do. Really worried about the rash now too

The doctor just said that it’s because of his eye infection, they prescribed Piriton and then said allergy. So I’m not even sure. I thought it was a viral rash

I would trust the doctor . It will go down soon. Try not to worry he will be fine
