➤ When should parents be concerned about side effects or complications?
Mild redness, temporary blurring, or brief eye discharge are common and self-limited. Seek prompt evaluation if the baby has persistent purulent drainage, increasing swelling, high fever, poor feeding, or if symptoms worsen after 24–48 hours. These signs may indicate gonococcal or chlamydial infection requiring urgent systemic antibiotics and ophthalmology care.
