Conjunctivitis

My 2 year old had conjunctivitis, we bought eye drops from pharmacy for her. She got better however she passed it onto my 11 month old, we've been using the same drops on her for the past 2 days however I've only just read the label and realised it says only for 2 years or above! Now I'm panicking is she going to be ok? I know it's my fault I should've read it but I don't know I just thought it was for babies!

Is there any eye drops that I can use under the age of 2? Google says to just wipe her eyes clean but that doesn't seem to be working?

Chamomile tea is really good for conjunctivitis
If you're breastfeeding then breast milk is magic for cleaning it up

It should go away on its own anyway though.
Our pharmacists won't sell eye drops for child
Use anyway - adult only. It's okay though as it usually clears up anyway.

Was just going to say chamomile tea but see beaten to it! Let it cool and fresh cotton wool ball for each wipe from inner to outer eye👀
