Calling Your Health Care Provider
Talk to your health care provider if you have given birth (or expect to give birth) to a baby in a setting where antibiotic or silver nitrate drops are not routinely placed in the infant's eyes (for example, an unsupervised birth at home). This is especially important if you have had, or are at risk for, any sexually-transmitted disease.
