If the eyes are red with a watery discharge, it's viral conjunctivitis, and if they're red with yellow gunk coming out of them it's bacterial, right?
The doctor said she thought it was 'probably' viral, but it didn't seem to be based on any kind of reasoning, other than that being the more common one. But what about the yellow gunk?! Can you still have yellow gunk with viral conjunctivitis?
