My almost two and half year old dd has eye drops for conjunctivitis which I started using last night. Today she hasn't had much discharge but her eyes are quite puffy and there is a lot of redness underneath them. Is this normal or could it be a side effect of the drops (I've accidentally thrown away the information leaflet :rolleyes: )
Also, any tips on how to get the drops into her eyes? She cries and shuts them so tightly that I have to do it quickly when she does open a little bit - I'm not sure the full drop is going in. I don't want to do it when she's asleep as the leaflet mentioned because we've had so many problems at bedtime that I definetly don't want to risk waking her when she IS asleep!
My 12 year old son came home from spending the afternoon with his friend and he now has a gunky eye! I'll try and get him some drops tomorrow (do I have to see a doctor or can I just go to a pharmacist?) but will he be able to go to school on Tuesday? If not, do they have to stay off until it's cleared up completely? (Doctor told me to give dd drops until it appeared to have gone and then an extra 2 days to be sure - that would be a long time off school!)
I'm meant to be looking after 2 little lo's on Tuesday - would I have to close?
Thanks for any information you can give me.
