I'm really concerned about my 5-month-old son. He was diagnosed with eye conjunctivitis on January 13, 2016, and the doctor recommended we use Toba eye drops - 2 drops, 4 times daily for 5 days. Unfortunately, the conjunctivitis kept coming back, so we ended up using the drops for 15 days. The doctor has now advised us to switch to Moxiflox. I'm worried - could using the eye drops for an extended period cause any increase in his eye pressure?

Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.

It's been 26 days since my C-section delivery. I'm wondering if it's okay to start wearing contact lenses now or if it could cause any harm. If it's not advisable yet, how much longer should I wait?
No, you can use them no problem

I'm really worried because the whole area around my left eye is in pain. I noticed there's no redness, but there's some swelling and it's even affecting the left side of my head. I had asked about this earlier and got an answer, but now I can't find it in the app. Could you please share that information with me again? Any advice on what I should do would be really helpful.
