My poor little mite, I feel helpless and just wondered if there was any sort of tips, any ways to prevent it?

Ds has had conjunctivitis 5 times this year alone and thrush twice in his nappy area.

Do i just need to deal with it. or is there any ways to help him??

Are you not allowed to use the eye drops at this age? My DS had conjunctivitus recently and it cleared up in a week with eye drops and no antibiotics. He is nearly 5 though...

Sorry if this useless, didn't want to leave unanswered.

Thrush is horrid. My DS ended up with sores down there at that age. We used metanium - messy and yellow but amazing!
