While back in Segamat, we brought Marissa to see my physician friend : Dr Ling Kay Kwong (Klinik Medic & Surgeri) when she seemed to have a recurrent eye infection and her cough/cold meds ran out. Kay Kwong prescribed a different meds for her cold (which worked much better) and also some antibacterial eyedrops. He absolutely didn't recommend any antibiotics at all..... citing that too frequent use of it during infancy may lead to childhood asthma. Plus he also said that parents should not to be over-zealous in cleaning and disinfecting baby's stuff - some 'dirt' is good for them!
