Suggest Treatment For Red And Sore Eyes In A Child
hi...my daughter who is 2. went to nursery a few days ago and i noticed she caught nits from there.so i bought some treatment and applied it on to the hair. but as i was applying it a bit has dripped of her fringe into her eye. now her eyes are red and sore, and she is always rubbing it..is there anything else i can do as ive flushed it all day with water??
Nits treatment is topical application of permethrin lotion with closing eyes followed by cleaning and drying. Usually, nits cannot live on eye they create some allergic reaction. Next thing is get checked with a pediatrician to rule off rickettesial infection as nits are carriers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
