###Human: My son is suffering from corneal abrasion. Is there anything else to help him? ###Assistant: Hello. I am very sorry to hear that your son is injured. But, rest assured that such things are quite common and corneal abrasions usually heal in about five to seven days without any further harm. I suggest that you continue with the Erythromycin ointment and make sure that your son does not go out in sunny, windy or dusty environments. If necessary dark goggles can be worn temporarily for extra protection. I recommend that you see an Ophthalmologist in case of the following: 1. If there are pain and watering that does not improve with the Erythromycin Ointment. 2. If the redness is not reducing. 3. If there is a drop in vision. I hope this helps you.
