Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome measures would be followed in the Proportion of patients in each group. To compare combined VAS  scores in two groups (excellent & good responses will be taken as treatment success).Timepoint: VAS  scores in two groups at the  1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week, 4th week, 8th week, 12th week, 16th week, 20th week, 24th week months. A follow-up of 12 months will be done till the stop of treatment to see the rebound growth of ICH.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Adverse events/Side effects of topical therapy viz local burning, stinging, or irritant reactions. Timolol Safety would be assessed by measuring heart rate & systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Parental satisfaction on 10 points line scale at the 24th week and stoppage of treatment. Timepoint: At 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week, 4th week, 8th week, 12th week, 16th week, 20th week, 24th week.
