I had conjunctivitis 1 week ago and the symptoms have returned, what should I do?

36-year-old woman2 years ago
One week ago (Saturday August 6) I had conjunctivitis (gift from my son) for which I completed the treatment on Friday (sterisporin) but the symptoms had already disappeared on Tuesday. Last night I woke up with my eyes irritated and very red, a bit stuck but without a green "crust". I thought it was a relapse until someone pointed out to me that the air conditioning in the hotel where we were staying was quite intense and that I had the air directly in my face the night before while trying to adjust it. I also had a dry throat and a blocked nose for 2 nights. My eyes are even more red than when I went to the pharmacist on August 6, tingling and burning. My vision was also disturbed/blurred for part of the day. Can air conditioning do this or is it probably a recurrence of conjunctivitis (no one in the house apparently has it yet). I do not take any medication on a regular basis, I am breastfeeding my 10 month old son.

Hello ma'am, do you have any discharge?
Are these the exact same symptoms as last time?
Do you have any other symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose?

The discharge is tears, rather light, no thick yellow or green color.
I have a little cold since about Wednesday but it's really light, I blow my nose in the morning but it doesn't run "by itself". I have a little and still very light discomfort in my throat, more present since last night when my throat was very dry

Thanks for the feedback!
I would not recommend the product you mention based on the description of your symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, it is the cold that manifests itself in the eyes. This is temporary and the application of artificial tears and cold compresses several times during the day is more than sufficient.

I will try like that for the next few days!
Thanks a lot
