Can i put terramycin on my one month baby? he has a ball inside his eye lid is swollen and can barely open his eye
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Do not use terramycin in baby's eye. Have infant seen ASAP by a doctor. Eye lesion may require antibiotic medication by mouth or IV instead of eye drops due to young age.
