Eye injury
My son got hurt his right eye on the white part. It's been 20 days that part is red. We used itone for a couple of days , it didn't helped. Then one general physician in online consultation asked to put gentamicin eye drop which we are using regularly (3 times per day) since a week now . The redness reduced on 4-5 day but it's again back since yesterday morning and not reducing even after the eye drops. Please help ! The first pic is taken on 1st day of injury and 2nd pic is taken today.
Thank you !!

Hello,
In any case with a history of trauma , it is always better to consult an ophthalmologist in person so that he can check on a machine. I have seen quite a few cases of persistent redness where there is a foreign body stuck in the area (not visible to the naked eye). I would advice a one to one consult.

Looks like traumatic episcleritis. This redness will subside with a short course of topical steroids, but more importantly, the eye has to be examined under magnification for evidence of any other vision threatening injury. Therefore, it's better u consult an ophthalmologist. Gentamycin is not going to help.. pls stop it immediately.
Next Steps
Consult an ophthalmologist in person, if not possible then try online consultation.
