About conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is inflammation of the thin clear layer covering the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It may be viral (the most common, often with a cold), bacterial (with thick yellow or green sticky discharge), allergic (itchy, watery eyes in both eyes) or caused by irritants such as smoke, chlorine or dust. Typical signs are redness, watering, discharge, a gritty feeling, itching and swollen lids. Viral and bacterial forms spread easily, so wash hands often, do not share towels or pillows, avoid rubbing the eyes and keep a child at home until the discharge settles. Bacterial conjunctivitis may need antibiotic drops. See a doctor promptly for pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, a very red eye after injury, a contact lens wearer with symptoms, or no improvement in three to five days, and always for a newborn.
