A member asked:

My 9 year old son has severe seasonal allergies the only thing that clear his eyes is terramycin oitment twice daily. how long can i use it for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eye allergy: I think using an antibiotic ointment is inadvisable. Ask your pharmacist for an anti- allergy eye drop.
