Erythromycin ointment, eye smear twice, what will happen? I suggest you get to know it.
I don't know when it started, and the rumor that erythromycin ointment can treat eye diseases spread on the Internet. Many patients with eye diseases will apply erythromycin ointment around their eyes.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, the important organs for people to see this beautiful world, and the very fragile parts. Although erythromycin ointment is a topical medicine, it does not mean that all parts of the body are suitable for applying erythromycin ointment.
Because erythromycin ointment is an antibiotic, it is very irritating to cells and nerves. If erythromycin ointment is directly applied around the eyes, it is likely to aggravate the symptoms of eye infection, and strong drug stimulation will also make people unable to open their eyes and appear obvious physical discomfort.
Many people who apply erythromycin ointment around their eyes will burn their eyes when cutting onions, and some people with thin sensitive cuticles will have more serious skin diseases.
To sum up, it is completely wrong to say that erythromycin ointment can prevent eye diseases. I hope you don't try it easily.
