How to treat trachoma in children

1. Medication: Use antibiotic eye drops or ointments, such as sodium sulfacetamide or rifampicin, for several weeks to months to eliminate the chlamydia infection. 2. Eye hygiene: Regularly clean the eyes to remove secretions and prevent reinfection. 3. Preventing transmission: Educate children to avoid rubbing their eyes and not to share towels or other personal items to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. 4. Surgical treatment: If trachoma symptoms are severe, such as trichiasis, entropion, or corneal opacity, surgical intervention may be necessary under medical guidance, including eyelid correction surgery or corneal transplantation.
