Bacterial Pink Eye Home Remedies
i need help with pink eye?
i just noticed my 5yr old has a eye that is pink around the eye, lid and all, some red inside. etc… NO pus as of yet. he was complaining about 8pm that his eye hurt. we thought he just scratched it. Now it looks all pink and swollen and he says it itches and hurts. I got some OTC stuff, but will go to the ER in a few hrs if it is bacterial. what home remedies, other than a warm cloth over his eye, can i do> i am 5months prego, and don’t want to catch this, as i have NO IDEA what it could do to my unborn child. I have tons of hand sanitizer and make him wash his hands all the time now. anything else????
OH,we have tricare medical insurance, as long as i take him to the ER on post, its free. I will have to pay to go off post for him stupid i know!!! i wanted to get him meds ASAP, as he has school on monday.
good luck, i just went through this with my 3 sons.
washrag is the only trick i know.
once you start the medication they say after 24 hours its not contagious, just wash your hands constantly and dont touch your eyes.
all 3 of my kids and wife had it , and im the only one the re caught it
good luck, it usually doesnt last long when you start medicating it.
