Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help with this. My dd has always been prone to sticky eyes, ever since a baby. I took her to the doctors when she was younger and they just said to keep wiping it and she would grow out of it. Well she hasn't and I've kind of grown used to it and accept that she gets it from time to time. However, her teacher pulled me up on it this morning and asked what was wrong with it and if it was conjunctivitis, she shouldn't be there. I sort of brazenly said it wasn't and that she gets this from time to time. The whites of her eyes are not red or pink and aren't in any way swollen. The teacher accepted this so I left my dd there. However, I'm now feeling really bad and perhaps I shouldn't have sent her and I'm panicking in case any other children catch anything. But honestly if I kept her off every time she had a gunky eye, she would never be there. I have booked an appointment with the doctor this afternoon just to check and maybe for him to write a letter...but I'm worrying that maybe I was wrong!
Sorry, this doesn't really warrent an answer probably - I'm just waffling!
