As an antibiotic ointment, erythromycin eye ointment is first used to treat trachoma, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and external infections of the eye. There are other uses for erythromycin eye ointment. 1. Minor trauma: Erythromycin ointment can be used if the body is slightly contused, scratched or other trauma. The general usage is to clean and disinfect the affected area, and then apply an appropriate amount of ointment to the affected area twice a day. 2. Mild burns: For small areas of burns and scalds, first wash the wound with cold water, and then apply a thin layer of erythromycin ointment on the surface. 3. Mosquito bites: When the mosquito bites are more serious, they should be cleaned and disinfected in time, take appropriate amount of this ointment and apply it twice a day for 5-7 days. 4. Nosebleeds: Dry weather makes some people's dry nasal mucosa more fragile, so nosebleeds happen from time to time. At this time, you can use erythromycin ointment to smear the nasal septum partly, 4-5 times a day. It can disinfect and soften the nasal cavity, moisturize the nasal mucosa, improve the environment in the nasal cavity and prevent rebleeding. Do not apply too much to prevent the ointment from flowing back into the inlet. 5, angular cheilitis: angular cheilitis is mostly caused by infection, more common in preschool children. Bacterial stomatitis can be applied with a small amount of erythromycin ointment while taking vitamin B2. It should be noted that although erythromycin ointment is widely used, it has no effect on skin diseases caused by fungal infections such as tinea capitis, onychomycosis, jock itch, and tinea pedis. Erythromycin ointment occasionally causes some adverse reactions, such as local burning sensation, dryness, itching, erythema, and occasional urticaria-like reactions. If any of these adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately.

Apply on the eyelids 2 to 3 times a day, the last time should be used before bedtime.

Erythromycin eye ointment is a cheap and practical home standing medicine. I have used it for many years and found that it can be used for other diseases besides treating eye diseases: 1. Preventing wound inflammation. Minor wounds will be cleaned and coated with some erythromycin eye ointment, which will soon heal. 2. Treating mules. The weather is dry, and some people are prone to get angry. Put out mules in the nasal cavity or face, and apply a little eye ointment to treat mules and keep the nasal cavity moist. 3. If the skin is swollen or inflamed, apply a little ointment after cleaning to reduce swelling and pain.

1. Avoid contact with other mucous membranes (such as mouth, nose, etc.).
