Conjunctivitis

[Patsy33]

Can't believe it..Just got over this eye infection, about a week, now this morning, the other eye was all stuck up! There seems to be a lot about at the moment. Three members of the family have had it, and have heard others, locally have had it. Will go to chemist and buy some drops/ gel, for eye infections. Didn't bother last time. Anyone else been aeffected?

Be careful you do not cross infect from one eye to the other when you clean. Wipe in direction of nose to ear

[Patsy33]

I have been trying to be careful, obviously, no careful enough! It's so lowering...

Nip to the chemist.........chloromycetin ophth 1 gm ointment, use twice daily.

[Patsy33]

Thanks for that sqad. Going out soon, so will get some.

If anything, conjunctivitis can be contagious....not infectious, or indeed, infective.
