DD (5) and at least one of her classmates have developed conjunctivitis. Her eyes are a bit red but no discharge and they aren't bothering her.
They have been using paddling pools with untreated water (outside the UK in a hot country) and I think this is responsible for it. They will not be in the pool tomorrow and I will not allow her to go in it again.
I haven't treated her with antibiotic drops because as far as I understood viral conjunctivitis is self limiting and drops are useless. I know that school will take her if I send her, but I also don't want to be responsible for spreading it further.
Should I send her to school tomorrow?
