What Is The Treatment For Eye Infection?
My 12 week old son has had an eye swab done due to constantly having a gooey eye. (Hes been given eye drops for this) but not working. The drs have rung me saying they need to do an eye review on him but not told us the results of swabs. What might they be looking for?

Hi...this is called purulent eye discharge. The doctors might have, asked for swab of the eye, to look for gonococci or other bacteria. If they Are negative do not worry.But if the swab grows some organism, then we need to treat according to the organism.
