My 7 yr. old granddaughter woke up this morning
with her eye swollen shut. We thought it was
allergies and she went to school. After school,
it looked red and puffy, so I looked at it
closely and found a small tick along her
eyelashes. My daughter took her to the urgent
care center and they prescribed Doxycycline
syrup (14 days). Is this ok for a child? I
don't think I've seen children on here taking
Doxy. Thanks for any thoughts..

Poor baby! I hope the infection gets under control and she has a good outcome!
I heard that doxy stains teeth under the age of eight.

My 8 year old daughter is taking doxy pulsed weekly with amoxy.
She has been making great progress with it.
