In our household, if someone comes down with conjunctivitis, it means you get treated like you have leprosy as we try to keep the germs away from Dane. The antibacterial handwash and hand gel gets a real workout!
Not sure how things are in your house but we are paranoid, like seriously paranoid, about any sort of eye infection or eye injury. Maybe you’ve picked up on that.
Anytime you suspect an eye infection in yourself or your child you should go see your doctor right away. Self-diagnosing an eye infection can lead to improper treatment and could make it worse. If your child wears contact lenses, they should only wear their glasses until they can be seen by your doctor.
