A member asked:
Eye infection in a 7 years old? are the antibiotic (non steroid) drops better or the tobradex (tobramycin and dexamethasone)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes usually: My preference is for either Azasite (azithromycin) or polytrim (polymyxin b and trimethoprim) (polysporin/trimethoprim) in a child and i save the steroid containing drop as a last resort.
