Good evening!
Vigamoks designate adults and children one year and older. So in your case it is not shown.
This state of the baby can be caused dacryocystitis - it happens in children - a violation of the outflow of tear fluid due to poor terrain nasolacrimal canal. Lacrimal fluid stagnates, joins a bacterial infection and inflammation occurs without stopping. Therefore, conducted before the treatment can not give effect.
You need as soon as possible to consult an ophthalmologist. Dacryocystitis treated simply.
And now you can help your child in a simple manner - do massage. Lightly massage the bridge of the nose to the kid at the edge of the eye, gradually going down to the nose wings. Do it more often, at least 3-4 times a day.
Antibacterial drops do not get carried away, they can give only a temporary effect and the negative effects from them can be more than positive.
Recover!
