My child started with a topical anti-allergy drop but is it not helping?
There are different classes of anti-allergy drops with different types of actions. Sometimes what works well for one person’s allergies may not work as well for somebody else. If the symptoms remain the same despite medication; a return trip to your Pediatric Ophthalmologist may be needed for further evaluation. It can be hard to get eye drops into a struggling child’s eyes. Sometimes children will take an oral medication better and get some relief. Cold compresses can help the itching and swelling, but many small children will not tolerate them.
