It works to stop the growth of bacteria and prevent their spread, which helps relieve symptoms such as redness, swelling, and burning. A small amount of
Erythromycin ointment is applied inside the lower eyelid according to the doctor's instructions. The specified dose must be adhered to and not discontinued once the condition improves to ensure complete recovery. It is also advised not to share the ointment with anyone else and to avoid touching the tip of the tube to the eye or any external surface to maintain the purity of the medicine. The doctor must be informed in the event of any irritation or sensitivity after use.
