Can I give my daughter the same drops as my son? Is she too young?
30-year-old woman
Hello,
My 20 month old son had conjunctivitis last week. He had prescription drops, 4x / day for 7 days. My 2 month old daughter caught it 2 days ago. I have tried putting my breast milk in his eye several times, but no change. Can I give her the same drops as her brother?
Thank you for your help!

Hello, thank you for your question!
First of all, you should stop giving milk in your baby's eyes. Also, you should not share the medication you received for your son. For now, just monitor your daughter's symptoms, you can keep the area clean with a damp washcloth, without sharing it to avoid contamination.
If the situation worsens, you will have to consult a doctor or optometrist.
Sincerely
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
