Curing Kalaazar

Eye Lotion

Intramuscular injection

Correct Answer:

Eye Lotion

Explanation:

The answer is 3. Eye Lotion.

Argyrol is a medical preparation that contains silver protein, which is a mild antiseptic. It was once used as a treatment for a variety of eye infections, including gonorrhea, conjunctivitis, and trachoma. However, it is no longer widely used as an eye medication because it can cause argyrosis, a condition in which the silver in the argyrol deposits in the tissues of the eye, causing them to turn a bluish-gray color.

Argyrol is also not used to treat Kalaazar, stomach disorders, or for intramuscular injection.
