So DH has woken up with Conjunctivitis

[Sparklingbrook]

It's a Sunday. Can the chemist give him something? He is adamant he isn't phoning OOH just for that.

Optrex do an Infected Eyes treatment OOC. Contagion control v important today as it spreads like a bastard. Lock him in the tower!

Yes....the stuff the doc would give him can now be dispensed by the pharmacist.

OTC I mean

Oh that's good news. I thought the Doctor stuff may be stronger. It's really miserable but is's making me a bit twitchy re the contagious thing. I will also have to administer the drops.

If I get the stuff asap how long til it works?

Cooled boiled water and cotton wool works, I don't bother taking the kids anymore for drops

I wondered that Claimed. He's been up half the night with cotton wool pads and water as it is.

Bit of salt in the water

The drops will work faster and if it's bad enough to have had him up half the night then get the drops. Chemist can "prescribe" them now.

I think we will do the cooled bolied water til Boots opens then I will shove him in there to show them his eye. Bit fed up because it's the last day before the DC go back to school and we wanted to do stuff.

Weak chamomile tea apparently - and he knows to use a fresh piece of cotton wool each sweep doesn't he?

Or a squirt of breastmilk if you know of anyone willing to oblige

God that sounds wrong EBM obv

I'll get my coat ....

Yes fox, he has used half a pack of my cotton wool pads so far Mmm I don't know where I could get a squirt of breastmilk. Ten years ago I could have obliged.

Did he get something or is he still suffering??

Well I gave him all the options Claimed. He chose the salty cooled boiled water and it's looking quite a lot better thanks. If it is bad again in the morning he will be going to the chemist. It's only the one eye still.....
