Contact an eye doctor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s often difficult for parents to tell what\u2019s causing their child\u2019s symptoms, which is why it\u2019s important for an eye doctor to examine the child\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<p><b>The treatment for pink eye is determined by the type of infection, so a proper diagnosis is crucial<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, viral conjunctivitis can resolve on its own after several days, whereas bacterial conjunctivitis requires treatment with antibiotic medication.<\/p>\n<p>If your child is showing signs of pink eye, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><b>contact an eye doctor near you<\/b><\/a> for an eye exam.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Change Your child\u2019s bed sheets and towels<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>To get rid of any bacteria that might remain on their towels, pillowcases, and bed sheets, throw all of them in the washer and dryer.<\/p>\n<p>This reduces the chances of the child being infected again and infecting other family members. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling potentially infected linens.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Encourage personal hygiene<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Since viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are so infectious, good hygiene is vital\u00a0 to prevent it from spreading. If your child is young, teach them how to wash their hands properly with soap and water and when to do so.<\/p>\n<p>As long as a child has viral or bacterial pink eyes they should avoid wearing contact lenses in order to prevent their eyes from becoming infected. Wear glasses until your child&#8217;s eyes are fully healed.<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Make your child feel comfortable\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>If your child has viral conjunctivitis, the primary treatment is often simply easing your child\u2019s symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce irritation use soothing eye drops. A warm or cool compress placed over the child\u2019s affected eye can also be helpful. Be sure to use a fresh washcloth each time, and thoroughly wash your hands afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Warm compresses are great for viral and bacterial pink eye, while cool compresses work best for pink eye caused by allergies and irritants.<\/p>\n<p><b>Contact an eye doctor near you<\/b>, who will instruct you on how to care for your child\u2019s condition and ease any discomfort.<\/p>\n<h2><b>4 ways to protect yourself<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of things that can be done to protect yourself and other family members from becoming infected and spreading pink eye.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. By rubbing or touching your eyes when you have a pink eye, it can spread to the other eye or worsen the condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Wash your hands thoroughly. Make sure that you and your children wash hands using soap and water. This is especially important after touching someone with pink eyes or any of their personal items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Don\u2019t share personal items, such as towels, bedding, eye drops, glasses, contact lenses and containers, and makeup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">If you wear contacts, stop wearing them until your eye doctor says it\u2019s okay. Then throw out the current lenses and use a fresh pair when your eye doctor says it&#8217;s safe to start wearing lenses again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/\">Guide to Eye Conditions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><b>Schedule an appointment<\/b> <\/a>with an eye doctor near you to have your child\u2019s pink eye diagnosed and treated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your child\u2019s eyes are sore, scratchy or watery, they most likely have \u2018Pink Eye\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 Pink eye is the most common eye problem among children,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11610,"parent":11598,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-article.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[95,274,377,425,299,136],"class_list":["post-11609","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-childrens-vision","tag-dry-eye","tag-eye-infections","tag-pink-eye","tag-vision-loss","tag-vision-problem"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pink Eye: What Do I Do?
