Eye discharge
Hi Doctor,
My son has been having discharge from his left eye since this morning. There is eye gunk forming every two hours, and the eye looks slightly smaller than usual. The problem is only in the left eye.
One of our family doctors recommended CPM drops and Moxiflox drops. Are these safe to use for him? My son is 9 months old.

Hi sir,
For a 9 month old, tobramycin eyedrops and tobramycin eye ointment would be the best.
Along with toba, lubricating eye drops should also be used
