Ever woken up in the morning, looked in the mirror and seen a horrifying sight? Well, conjunctivitis has struck once again. Conjunctivitis. The inflammation of the conjunctiva eye.
Have you or your daughter shared make up lately? Be prepared to wake up with a monster looking eye. Conjunctivitis can appear if there has been any injury to the eye. Sharing make up, bacteria around your eye and something in your eye can lead to Conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis also goes by the name of Pink Eye. Conjunctivitis takes 24-74 hours to be noticed. It can last up to a whopping 2-3 weeks.
These are some symptoms that may occur.
- Irritation to the eye
- Redness around the eye
- Blocked tear duct
- Sticky Eyes
- Infection or allergies
- Swelling
To treat your child's Conjunctivitis, use some of these remedies to help treat the conjunctiva eye.
- Clean the eye with a cotton ball BUT only wipe in one direction throwing them away once they’re used
- A clean cold cloth can help soothe irritation and bring swelling down
- Wash your hands thoroughly after treating the conjunctiva eye
If these don't work go to your doctor and get prescribed eye droplets and other antibiotics.
If your child's eye is irritated take them to your local doctor. Don't ignore it and say “We’ll see if it's okay tomorrow”. Prevent it before it gets worse.
