Suggest Treatment For Blepharitis

My daughter who is 5 has blepharitis and have been cleaning it morning and night with cooled boiled water and baby shampoo as advised by my Gp. It is now infected and we are using an antibiotic eye cream. I have seen on line an eye mask especially for such eye conditions which you put in the microwave to heat, the reviews are good but from a medical perspective do you think they are good as I think it maybe unhygienic as the mask has flax seeds in it and is covered in towelling material - I would have thought you would need to use something you could dispose after each use to avoid infection? Any other advise on Blepharitis?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Use boric acid powder for cleaning eyes and eye lashes. Further use ketaconazole 2 percent for dandruff in hair once a week for 4 weeks.
Use T bact ointment for infected areas and if there is poor response you may need oral antibiotic
