Bangkok, Thailand – A COVID treatment produced a truly bizarre reaction in a six-month-old baby.
The Daily Mail revealed Tuesday that an infant from Bangkok, Thailand was given a drug called favipiravir after being diagnosed with COVID-19. He was the youngest patient to ever receive the drug.
After receiving the treatment, the baby’s mom noticed that his dark brown eyes had turned a bright blue within 18 hours and alerted doctors. The baby’s eyes returned to their natural color five days after receiving the drug.
An eye examination was reportedly performed after treatment was over.
Doctors claim the baby’s eye color change was due to the antiviral drug releasing a fluorescent chemical that spread in his corneas.
