A member asked:
Is it possible for me to put gentamycin eye drops in my baby's eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Does your baby have an eye infection? If not then you do not need to use them. Gentimycin in the past has been used as the first line antibiotic drop used by pediatrician s. It is a safe drop, but there are better ones now.
