If "green gooke" means purulent discharge from the eye, your child probably does have bacterial conjunctivitis, and ofloxacin is an appropriate antibiotic. Ofloxacin is a broad spectrum (meaning these are good for many different organisms) antibiotic and is the way to go initially. Culturing the discharge or other labs are not usually necessary to make the diagnosis. When you say "not responding", what do you mean? Has it only been a day or so, or has your child completed the medication? Follow the discharge instructions. If it gets worse give your physician a call. Give the medication time to do it's job. Hands clean, don't share face towels, etc. again, follow the discharge instructions to the letter.\n\nNobody likes to hear this, but 3 1/2 hours is not a long time to wait in the Emergency Dept. Patients are triaged and taken according to severity. Life threatening illness is taken before conjunctivitis, fortunately (or unfortunately...depending on which patient you happen to be).

I would ask a real doctor.\nNo offense people, but I'd hate for anyone in here to play doctor just because they stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once.

Mr Browning from near Harrogate (my Harrogate doctor recommended him).  Ears and eyes.  Hassle-free.

Sorry, as much as we'd all like it, the only way to kick this icky "pink eye" is to use the ointment or drops. ERYTHROMYCIN OPHTH OINT 3.5 GM is the stuff we had to get the last bout at our house.  We asked our Dr. and checked out other sources and found that you gotta have the medicine!!  Good luck!

Maybe you could use tabasco for an eyewash.  If that does not work drink the whole bottle and maybe fire will at least come from the other end...

My father used potatoes for this. Pureed raw potato with the juices,made a poultice,placed over his eyes. It worked!

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

Why not try an optometrist.  She may need glasses, could be corrected.  Don't wait till she starts school.  Kids can be cruel.  Happened to me.  Fine now!
