Conjunctivitis Treatment and Symptoms
What is conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the white membrane
covering the eyeball and inner lining of the eyelids. The infection may affect
one or both eyes but is not usually painful. This comes on relatively quickly
and lasts for a fairly short time. Acute conjunctivitis may clear on its own,
but often needs treatment from your doctor.
Symptoms
Mostly both eyes are affected, but often one starts before the other.
The eye is sticky, with a discharge, which is worse when you wake up.
The eye is red, with the blood vessels over the white of the eye more visible
and swollen. The lining of the eyelids also looks redder or pinker than usual.
The eye is itchy or painful.
Causes
The cause is mostly bacterial or viral in origin, but can be caused by contact
lenses, allergy to drugs, pollen, or foreign bodies .
Treatment
Treatment depends upon the cause and is often self-limiting, but eye drops are
available to help reduce the inflammation, while antibiotics may be prescribed
for a bacterial infection.
You could try bathing the eyes with water or water with a pinch of salt in
it.
As the condition is often highly
contagious, children suffering from conjunctivitis
should use separate facecloths and towels to prevent it spreading to others.
If applying ointment or bathing your child's eyes you should wash your hands
immediately. Advise your child on touching his/her eyes or they could spread
the infection.
