Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Treatment

Soothe redness. Stop the spread.

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Treatment:
Soothe Infection & Relieve Redness Fast

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is one of the most frequent reasons children visit the eye doctor — and for good reason. This highly contagious condition can spread quickly in schools and daycare settings, leaving children with red, itchy, watery, or crusty eyes. While pink eye is common, not all cases are the same, which is why expert diagnosis and treatment matter.

What Causes Pink Eye?

Conjunctivitis occurs when the clear tissue covering the white of the eye (the conjunctiva) becomes inflamed. This inflammation can stem from:

🔹 Viral infections (most common and highly contagious)
🔹 Bacterial infections (often with thick, colored discharge)
🔹 Allergic reactions (usually affecting both eyes)

Symptoms Parents Should Watch For:

 Redness in one or both eyes
 Watery or thick, sticky discharge
 Crusting around the eyes (especially in the morning)
 Complaints of itching, burning, or feeling like something is in the eye

Fast Relief Starts with Accurate Diagnosis

Not all pink eye needs antibiotics — in fact, many cases are viral and resolve on their own. During a gentle exam, Dr. Belgrave will assess your child’s symptoms, pinpoint the cause, and recommend the right treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent spread. Treatment may include:

💧 Prescription antibiotic or antiviral eye drops (when necessary)
🌿 Soothing at-home care for viral cases
🧴 Allergy management if symptoms are triggered by allergens
