Eye drops for sticky green eye/conjunctivitis


Hi all,

Has anyone used the chloramphenicol eye drops to clear there LO conjunctivitis?

My 5 week old was prescribed them at 3 weeks but it cleared so i didn't use the drops (HV advised not to bother). Anyway it has come back now i am thinking maybe best to give them to her. However upon reading the leaflet it says not to use when pregnant or breastfeeding and has some nasty side effects. Not too keen on giving them after reading that

Advice please? x x

Hannahs had conjunctivitis a couple of times. We've used these drops and she's been fine - it clears up her eyes within hours.

May sound weird, but breast milk will clear that right up. If you are nursing, and it sounds like you are, just squirt some in her eye. It will not sting, and it has great healing properties. Google it if you are not sure. Something like breastmilk for eye infection...
