Was at the cinema this evening and my left eye was itchy. Felt like something trapped underneath the eyelid. Eye was streaming a little on the bus back home. When I got in I saw that my eye was kinda 'gunky' . I think it's conjunctivitis I've got. Anybody ever had it and what did you do to get rid of it?
I've never had it but our daughter did. Not sure how it is for adults but we had to take her to the Dr. and get some medicated eye drops; which BTW she HATED, but she is only 3. I bet webMD or something similar would have treatment suggestions. one thing the dr told us was to make sure we washed hands all the live long day. I think we went through a gallon of hand sanitizer that week hope you get better soon!
I have got in twice, once when I was a kid and the last time in Feb 05. My mother took me to Doctor. The Doc prescribed an eye drop and some tablets and I was fine in 2 days.
Eye problems go side by side with spending endless hours on the computer, as I assume most people here do. I've had conjunctivitis once before, and it ain't fun. I'm suffering at the moment from extremely dry eyes as a result of 15-hour days staring at a monitor while wearing contacts. It's just one of those things you have to put up with
