pink eye in babies. Conjunctivitis is very common in July or august
especially and typically it spreads very easily in this season. I hope a lot
of parents might be looking for this information to treat their
baby’s eyes.
So firstly I have to tell you that conjunctivitis is very common it’s not
something about that you have a panic about it’s not something that you
have to get extremely worried about it. If you take the right treatment at
the right time then you don’t have to be worried at all. So I start to
tell you about the symptoms of conjunctivitis.
4 Common Symptoms of the Conjunctivitis
So the typical symptoms of pink eyes that you will see:

1. Red or Pink Eye
So the white area in the eye or the
lower eyelid will turn pink
or reddish. It may start with one eye or it may start with both the
eyes together. The symptoms will vary from one child to another or one
person to another. It is very common in elders also but in children, it
spreads easily.

But one disclaimer that I would like to give here is especially in babies
less than 6 months that is another condition of the eye that you have
to be very careful is blocked tear duct. So never confuse a blocked
tear duct with conjunctivitis because the treatment of both is separate. So
these were the symptoms now talk about the causes of pink eyes.

3. Allergan Conjunctivitis
Typically it occurs due to pollution, dust or smoke, or any irritants like
chlorine in the water when you put your baby in that water his eyes can get
an Allergan conjunctivitis. So this virus of bacteria can spread only
through by touch or rub not by just looking into the eye.

Treatment for Pink Eyes in Children
1. Consult Your Doctor
When a baby has pink eyes the first thing is you should call your
eye doctor because I strongly believe that no matter how many home
remedies you are aware of, I think when it comes to a kid it is so sensitive
matter that a doctor can solve effectively.

2. Recommended Medication
The medication recommended for kids usually is two eye drops, the one drop
is an irritant eye drop that removes irritation and keeps your eyes cool
with the antibiotic eye drop that removes the harmful bacteria from
the eyes.
