Many people who have used drops also note a quick result in the treatment of conjunctivitis. Drops not only eliminate burning, itching, accompanied by conjunctivitis, but also quickly eliminates swelling. The drug acts quickly enough, as most of the treated people note, if drops are dripped in the evening, then in the morning there is already an improvement, and the presence of the disease is almost not felt. Among the positive reviews, there is also not a high price of drops.
Examples of
1. It all started from the youngest daughter. I contracted in the garden with conjunctivitis, and such as I never saw in my life - my eyes swelled, the squirrels flushed, pus constantly came.
I bought a tetracycline ointment, started to wash my daughter's eyes with tea. On the third day of such treatment, everything went away, but the infection was manifested in the eldest son. He was cured in the same way, and the daughter for prevention of dripping Albucid.

Somewhere 5-6 days we lived quietly, and then it all started anew and had to go to the oculist. A smear from the eyes could not be taken, because with my treatment I smeared the whole picture of the analysis. Therefore, the doctor prescribed the drug for treatment of all kinds of conjunctivitis.
First, we dripped Ciprofloxacin for 10 days, then the same number of Normaks, followed by Ophthalmophheon.
Already on the fifth day of treatment, the eyes became clean, but we brought it to the end. Because of my self-treatment, we never found out what kind of conjunctivitis we had. Anyone who encounters such a problem, I advise you to immediately go to the oculist, and not to be treated independently. I would not have to treat an entire month of two children.
2. My sister treated the Normax drops with her child's ears for the diagnosis of otitis externa. By appointment, she dripped his ear three times a day for 2 drops. With the burrowing of the ears, my sister was very distressed, because the child had to lie down for a few minutes, and he struggled all the time and wanted to get up. The doctor said that the ears should be laid with cotton wool, but this sister did not do it. Ears dripped for a week.
The baby underwent treatment with these drops well despite the doctor's warning about the possible appearance of many side reactions, including dizziness, headaches, irritability, edema, itching.
The instructions indicate that these drops are contraindicated for use in children under 15 years of age, so I clarified this question with the doctor. He assured her that everything would be alright, as they prescribe this drug even to infants. I would, of course, be afraid to take such a risk, but still the treatment was successful.
