Conjuctivitis in 3 YO child

Guess who? It is my eldest son, it was started with swollen on both eyes and getting reddish 2 days ago.  But, there is no complain of itchiness and pain. He was also having mild fever initially. 


My first impression was he is allergic to ibuprufen suspension as this is the first time we gave him this NSAID to treat the fever. The swollen eyes came right after the treatment with Ibuprufen. While the mild fever might be because of viral infection.


There was no clinic open during this festive season. Only Klinik Menon in Kangar open but packs with lots of sick people. Waiting is killing.Thus we went to a pharmacy and bought a Chloramphenicol 0.5% eye drops. After 2 days of treatment with a dose of 1 drops bd, my son is getting better, swelling gone but still quite reddish. Overall he is getting better.


One valuable experience in giving kids an eye drops.
