Answer
Minims Chloramphenicol 0.5%: apply 1–2 drops topically to each affected eye up to six times daily or more often if needed; severe infections may need dosing every 15–20 minutes initially, reduced gradually as controlled; children follow adult dosing, but newborns may need adjustment for immature metabolism and dose-related risks; maximum treatment is 10–14 days.
