And the use of drugs such as aminoglycosides in the treatment of childhood diseases is only possible for a short time, since long-term use damages the corneal epithelium. The use of Neomycin can provoke contact allergies in a child. A drug such as Amikacin was developed not so long ago; it is less toxic and more suitable for instillation in children's eyes.

Redness and suppuration of the eyes, “stye” that appears on the inside or outside of the eyelids – unpleasant symptoms disorders in the child's body. Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes (conjunctivitis), inflammation of the ciliary margin (blepharitis), inflammation of the glands cartilage tissue century (meibomitis) and many other diagnoses usually involve treatment with antibiotics.
Antimicrobial agents may be the basis for such treatment. local action– drops, ointments, gels. They can, but they won't necessarily. What eye drops can be used in children in what cases?
All antibiotics, as their name suggests, exist to resist bacteria, microbes, and rods. If eye inflammation in a child is caused by a viral infection, antibiotics are not necessary. They will not be able to help, because... They don't know how to fight viruses. But they can cause harm, because no one has yet canceled the serious side effects of antibacterial therapy. And this includes dysbacteriosis, thrush, and decreased immunity.
In adults, eye inflammation is almost always caused by viruses. But for children it’s different - the share viral diseases equal to the proportion of bacterial ones.
Babies are actively exploring the world, they try to touch everything with their hands, and then rub their eyes with these hands... As a result, bacteria penetrate into the beneficial moist and warm environment - human eye, and the inflammatory process begins.
Even if the baby initially fell ill with the flu or ARVI, conjunctivitis can also become a bacterial complication. viral infection. To a body weakened by the flu, all kinds of harmful bacteria usually they “stick” quite willingly and quickly.
So, the most common childhood eye diseases for which antibacterial therapy can be prescribed:
These and a range of other eye diseases in children are usually provoked by Koch-Wicks bacillus, pneumococci, staphylococci, streptococci, and atypical chlamydia.
For conjunctivitis. Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye is a frequent companion colds. If the disease was caused by bacteria, and not viruses, enteroviruses or allergens, then antibiotic drops will be the main component of the treatment regimen. Bacterial inflammation is easy to recognize - by purulent discharge grey-green color from the corner of the eye, sticking eyelashes, clouding of the eye.
Conjunctivitis may go away on its own without specific treatment. But any doctor will tell you that the healing process will go much faster if you start using antibiotic drops.
For blepharitis. If the cause of inflammation of the eyelash edge lies in the proliferation of bacteria, the doctor will also recommend antibiotics. Most often, these are complex drops that contain erythromycin, tetracycline, and gentamicin.
From barley. This acute purulent inflammation of the hair follicle usually provokes Staphylococcus aureus. How can mothers not treat stye for their children? AND boiled egg, and a burdock compress, and grandmother’s spells... The doctor is unlikely to advise you at least one of the above. The medical approach to the disease will be simpler - drops or ointment with antibiotics. After all, barley, which is familiar to everyone, often ends with inflammation of the eye socket, lining of the brain and surgery. Especially if the abscess is heated or wetted.
For keratitis. Inflammation of the cornea is most often caused by staphylococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For treatment, doctors strongly recommend taking the antibiotics Levofloxacin and Moxifloxacin.
Instilling an antibiotic into sore eye, we are reducing the load on children's body. After all, active antimicrobial substances begin their “work” immediately. The antibiotic will wear off gastrointestinal tract, the risk of dysbacteriosis and allergies is minimized.
To treat viral eye inflammation, the doctor will prescribe individual or complex drops with antiviral effect, with an anti-inflammatory drug or with hormones, and for allergic eye inflammation - drops with dexamethasone.
