What should I do if my baby gets keratitis?
Infants with keratitis should visit the hospital for an examination as soon as possible. Some children might not cooperate well, requiring experienced doctors to assist in the examination to determine the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Concurrently, etiological treatment should be administered. Initially, local antibiotics should be used for anti-infection treatment. If the keratitis is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medication can be appropriately used. If the condition worsens, the patient should be checked once a day or once every two days. Once there is an improvement, a follow-up check is generally required every three days. Additionally, it is important to monitor for any corneal damage, and if necessary, medications for corneal repair should be used.
