The topical antibiotics tend to cause a little bit of brief pain. If she is in moderate pain, please let your Pediatrician know. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. There are some other options, and if she is having an allergic reaction, a switch is indicated. After 30 minutes following application, sometimes saline eye drops may relieve the symptom. Watch for redness and tearing.
