I have just been diagnosed with conjunctivitis for the third time in 5 weeks. The first two times I was given erythromycin ointment (cat . Today my doctor prescribed trimethoprim polymyxin b eye drops (cat C). He and the pharmacist both told me that there is no problem with using during pregnancy. My doctor did explain that we really need to clear up this infection for good.
I'm wondering if any others moms have used this while pregnant (or any other cat C druv) and how did things go? With my first pregnancy I was lucky and didn't have to use any antibiotics so I'm a little nervous this time around.
How old is your first? If you have any breastmilk (or can squeeze any out) it's like liquid gold for clearing up eye infections! That being said, I'd trust your DR.
Re: Antibiotic eye drops
They are eye drops that will be used short term so I'd use them
