Boil on Eye lid during pregnancy
Hello Doctor,
My wife is 9months pregnant and she got a boil on her eye lid. We are applying hot compresses but She is struggling to manage as it is very painful. Can she take ciprofloxacin eye drops to treat this condition, is this antibiotic safe during pregnancy? Please Help

Hi goodmorning. Yes she can put vigamox eye drops
Three times a day for five days . One drop each . Once she puts the drop ask her to close eyes and apply pressure on the medial end of the eye where the eye meets the nose.
She also need to put lubricants like refresh liquigel four times a day in both eyes to reduce dry eye induced by hormonal changes during pregnancy to prevent further infection. Continue hot fomentation
