My daughter has conjunctivitis?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Has your daughter recently had a cold, runny or stuffy nose? Is the yellowish discharge only after waking up, or is it throughout the day (is the discharge clearer during waking hours)?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the feedback!

Often it is the cold that has 'gone up' in the eyes. This, like a cold, goes away on its own after 5-7 days. You can use a clean wet towel to clean the eyes, as long as you don't share it because it can be contagious.

Since your child is not complaining, there is no need to add another measure, otherwise I would have suggested the application of artificial tears like Systane Ultra, Refresh Tears, or Hydrasense drops, to improve comfort.

If the situation persists for more than 7 days, the discharge becomes darker, or other new symptoms occur, a doctor should be consulted.

I hope this has been helpful to you, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!
