Lots of hand washing. But how do you keep a little kid from touching it? I'm imagining an eye patch.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429997 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 17:46:28 +0000 KT326 429997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had conjunctivitis due to an ear infection. Make sure they check her ears. He had no other symptoms except for the crusted eye. The dr gave us drops for his eyes and it cleared up within a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429993 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 17:42:13 +0000 Chastenet 429993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the suggestion of using breastmilk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429858 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 16:29:41 +0000 luckypenny 429858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429549 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:29:50 +0000 mediagirl 429549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck with it clearing up. M had pink eye and within a day of doing the drops, it was looking better. Just wash your hands a lot and try not to touch her eye. If you touch her face or eyes or nose, just wash wash wash (or use hand sanitizer!) We were so scared we would get it, too when she had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429540 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:27:19 +0000 luckypenny 429540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: oh I'm glad. Right now it looks like someone punched her in the eye! And I'm so scared she's going to give it to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429396 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:23:24 +0000 mamimami 429396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They'll give you antibiotic drops and by tomorrow it will look much better. My dr actually just tells me via text which type. Maybe your doctor will call in a prescription for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429384 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:19:48 +0000 banana 429384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no. poor thing! I hope everything turns out ok! I heard about the breastmilk thing too! Maybe try that while waiting for urgent care? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429373 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:15:15 +0000 hilsy85 429373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"ve heard breastmilk (squirted in the corner of the eye) can help clear it up! Good luck :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-1#post-429342 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:01:11 +0000 luckypenny 429342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!
