It's in the newest Hale, it's a "broad spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic
similar to ciprofloxacin and others."  He has it rated L3.

BUT--has she tried breastmilk?  I know it is commonly recommended for
babies with eye infections, but one of the nurses I work with was out sick
with an eye infection that was not clearing with antibiotics.  Since she
was nursing, I suggested she express a little milk and use a dropper to
start putting some in her eye several times/day.  She thought I was a
little odd (nothing new), but did it, said it felt WONDERFUL, and the eye
infection cleared up.  Perhaps a coincidence, perhaps not, but easy for
this mom to try.
