Natural is best as doubts are cast over eye antibiotic
The first antibiotic to be sold by pharmacies without prescription has little effect, a study says.
One in eight children develop the eye condition conjunctivitis each year and in many cases family doctors use chloramphenicol to treat it.
But an Oxford University study in the Lancet said the cure rate was nearly the same if the drops were used or not.
Researchers urged parents to wash children's eyes with warm water rather than use the drops.
