Recurring eye conjectivies
My 5-year-old child has been suffering from recurrent conjunctivitis. Earlier, he used to have severe cough due to allergies, and the doctor told us that it would improve with time. Thankfully, his cough has improved now, but for the past two years he has been continuously experiencing eye conjunctivitis. Whenever we visit the doctor, it gets better with treatment, but after some time it starts again. We have tried everything, but there is no permanent solution so far. Currently, the doctor has prescribed Soha and Winolap eye drops, which we are using regularly. However, he still has discharge from his eyes at night, and in the morning his eyes are stuck together. Because of this, he is sometimes unable to make proper eye contact. The doctor says it will improve with time and does not recommend using steroids for a long period. We are very concerned and confused about what treatment should be given. If any Pediatrician Ophthalmologist suggest any solution for it

Good evening sir At this age the most likely cause could be allergic conjunctivitis, which keeps recurring every year usually until 16- 18 years of age. Since there is presence of discharge, there could be an associated infection also
Next Steps
Please get a video or physical consultation done
Health Tips
