<< Subj: CS and saline solutions Date: 12/11/00 4:35:22 PM EST From: [email protected] (Lewis Ted (x5710)) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi gang, I seem to remember a discussion quite a while back about whether or not CS was effective when added to a saline solution (such as for use in the eyes, nose, etc.). I don't remember the outcome of the thread...was it ok or not ok to combine CS and saline? Does the saline reduce the effectiveness of the CS? The reason: my 5-year old has had an ongoing bout with some type of eye infection. We've given him an antibiotic eye drop, but it keeps coming back. I'd like to try CS eye drops to see if we could stop it, but I'm afraid straight CS might be too painful. He's pretty squeamish and might not let me do it more than once. (I'm assuming it would take multiple treatments.) I'd like to prove to my family (and myself) that CS really works. Any thoughts or suggestions? -Ted >> Ted: I've used CS in my eyes several times. I don't recall feeling any pain, just the slight discomfort of having "water" getting in my eyes. BTW, one easy way to put it in is to have him lie on his back with his eyes gently closed, then put a few drops on his eye lashes and carefully move the closed eye lid up and down to work the liquid onto the surface of the eye.
