Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having stye and is on treatment with gentamycin eye drops.
Stye is because of infection of the glands of the eyelids. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye ointment, anti-inflammatory drug and hot compression. If it is not responding oral antibiotics are needed for control of infection.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs.

Thank you
