This antimicrobial agent and its use is not difficult: instill 1-2 drops in the eye. At first the eyes can tingle, tears can flow, but this is temporary and the discomfort quickly passes. Drip in the early days can be up to 5-6 times.
My child with chickenpox had a complication in the form of conjunctivitis. At first there were other drops and they did not help, but after Albucida the child went on the mend. The inflammation was very strong, but on the 4th day the eye came back to normal. These drops have helped us best, but of course it's best to go to the doctor first - he will accurately assign them.

Once upon a time my left eye was inflamed. Previously, with the slightest problems with the eyes, it was enough to rub the eyes with black tea, but this time I had to turn to a specialist. They said in the hospital that conjunctivitis. Although the eye was not sick and did not fester, it was just red. The doctor was convincing in the diagnosis.
Attributed to drip at first some drops and after a week of ineffectual treatment, attributed sulfacil sodium or albucid. Dripped two drops in each eye: first in healthy. After 6-7 days - everything passed and my eyes came back to normal. Not only that the drops quickly helped, they are also a penny.
