summary

My little niece would scratch her eyes with her hands, and then she would secrete a lot of things in her eyes. The red color in the eye mask was like blood. Otherwise, I would tell my brother and sister-in-law to go to the hospital and take the children to have a look. Then the doctor told them that the baby was infected with neonatal gonococcal conjunctivitis. How to treat gonococcal ophthalmitis? Let me tell you about it.

How is gonococcal eye knot ophthalmitis treated

First: the main reason for the occurrence of ophthalmia in general newborn is that it is infected with gonorrhoeae. The incidence rate of this disease is 0.04%. The symptom of infection at the beginning is that there are a lot of secretions in the eyes. The early secretions are serous or bloody, and then the eyes and conjunctiva are congested and edema, and then produce a large amount of purulent secretion. So parents must pay attention to the baby's eyes, because the summer is hot and humid, so summer is also the high incidence season of baby's eye disease

Second: specific medication can use several drugs, but because it is the baby after all, it is recommended to use under the doctor's advice. The first medicine is penicillin, but before use must do the skin test, to prevent the baby allergy. The dosage of neonate is 50000 U / (kg · d), which can be divided into two intravenous drip, lasting about seven days. Another drug is ceftriaxone, 1g / D, intravenous drip, this drug is currently more effective anti gonococcal drugs. The third drug is norfloxacin, which is also effective on Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but it is best not to be used for children, which is easy to affect the development of children.

Third: because the summer is hot, so the baby must choose the correct cleaning method. At the beginning, you can wash it with normal saline. At first, wash it every five to ten minutes. After half an hour, wash it every 15 to 30 minutes. Then one day, wash it every hour for about two weeks. The disease is characterized by its infectivity, which can seriously damage vision. If the baby's illness is very serious, it is the eye face and conjunctiva hyperemia edema, a large number of purulent secretions, it may cause corneal complications, at that time must go to the hospital.
