Tocin is safe to use on 1.5 tear old child.. If eye inflammation is severe that is if chemosis and swelling is present , then use FML otherwise its better to avoid FML

If the patient is baby then please give him eye drop. Tobramycine.. If there is no chemosis then you can avoid fml as it is a steroid.. If chemosis is there then you can go with the same treatment
