Eye drops for a two year old?????

lizlemon77

Any suggestions on how I can get these eye drops to actually go into her eyes?  DH had to hold her down tonight and we tried prying her eyelids open but man is she strong!  The pharmacist said we should pull open the bottom lid and just drop them in.  Yeah, you try pulling open the bottom lid of your toddlers eye.

She needs these drops 3x a day for the next five days.  Tomorrow DH will be at work so I need to do the first two on my own.  Any suggestions on how to do this would be great.

(She was diagnosed with a respitory infection, double ear infections and double eye infections.  It's good times right now over at lizlemons house.  I need a drink.)

OMG.  I have no idea on how to get drops in the eyes of a toddler.  I know it'd be an impossible task on my kid.

Good luck!

If you can get her to lay down, you can just put the drops into the corners of her closed eyes. When she opens the, the medicine will get in there. Poor girl!
