Conjunctivitis

[mumofmunchkin]

I’m 37 weeks pregnant, and I feel like I have conjunctivitis starting in one eye - itchy eye, bit red, mucusy. If I wasn’t pregnant I’d just clean with cooled boiled water and only see a dr if it wasn’t better after a few weeks, but is it any different in pregnancy? Thanks

I don’t know. Ask a pharmacist.

For my toddler the dr said is the eye ball is red then it is bacterial and may need antibiotics if not it is viral and they can’t do anythingz

You should ask a pharmacist.

My first port of call would be to put coconut oil in my eye. It has always brought down pain and itchiness within about 30 minutes for me in the past. If I didn’t get such a fast result, I, too, would consult a pharmacist.
