    If you soak a lot and it looks serious, you can consider melting the anti-inflammatory drug amoxicillin with water and soaking the baby turtle for half an hour. Twice a day is sufficient, not too much.

    Use a sterilized needle to remove the white bubbles, disinfect them with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and then apply chlortetracycline or erythromycin eye ointment. In addition, the tank for raising turtles should be cleaned and disinfected well! Because it may be a fungus causing the disease.

    Put a small amount of water, put some oxytetracycline, amoxicillin and other drugs in the water, let your turtle soak for 1 hour a day, then take it out, and pour in a little cold boiled water after washing the water tank (remember, it's plain water!).
