My 5 week old baby has a staph infection in eye and was prescribed vigamox on Mon. She has had 5 total drops..... 1 Mon. night, 2 yesterday and 2 today. Her eye looks red and swollen and is still infected. Are the drops not working? When should it start to clear up?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It may take a while for an improvement to be seen, but normally changes should be visible by day 3 to 4. If she still has the same amount of discharge and swelling then she may need to be reassessed. It is possible that she may not be responding to those particular Chat Doctor. Her doctor may want to consider taking a swab of the discharge. This can be sent to the lab for them to determine which medication would work best. I hope this helps
