The chemist said that if we didn't see improvement within 2 days, we had to go to the Drs. There are a number of different ABs that can be used and they may need to be swapped. I definitely wouldn't leave it 2 weeks to go back.]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:19:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1114064&title=conjunctivitus#1114064 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1113931&title=conjunctivitus#1113931 Author: lisa85

My two have just had it. We got the drops from the doc and she said the girls would be fine for DC within 24hours :)]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:10:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1113931&title=conjunctivitus#1113931 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1107503&title=conjunctivitus#1107503 Author: ange221

We've been using the drops from the chemist since Tuesday evening but they don't seem to be making much difference.

Should we go to the doctor or just keep using the drops if it takes up to two weeks to clear?]]> Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:38:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1107503&title=conjunctivitus#1107503 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1106936&title=conjunctivitus#1106936 Author: mummytobesep08

Charli's daycare said as long as she's started the drops for at least 24 hours then it's ok...still pretty grotty though so I kept her home an extra day til most of the pus was gone]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:06:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1106936&title=conjunctivitus#1106936 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1105583&title=conjunctivitus#1105583 Author: MissAngel

We have drops given by the DR today. He doesnt seem concerned and said as long as the drops are applied that Thomas can be at kindy. I guess because it isnt so bad and doesnt weep nasties all the time? ]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:03:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1105583&title=conjunctivitus#1105583 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1104874&title=conjunctivitus#1104874 Author: Manda08

Ahh i have just been to the doctor for this. Got the ointment etc, but does it really take up to 2 weeks to clear? And he has to be out of DC that long??]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 10:55:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1104874&title=conjunctivitus#1104874 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1103325&title=conjunctivitus#1103325 Author: mummytobesep08

my little one has just gotten conjunctivitis!

She had really gross sitcky greeny yellowy puss coming out her eye and it would get stuck in her eyelashes. Later that day the eye went red and was sore to the touch. I kept washing it gently with saline solution (water with a lil salt) and dried it afterward.

Important tip: don't let anything touch eye to eye! DH washed her infected eye with a tissue then wiped the clean eye as well and the infection spread to that one too. Conjunctivitis is super contagious so make sure you wash your hands really well, try not to let them touch/rub/scratch their eyes, be careful with your own eyes, and throw out tissues used to clean the eyes straight away.

We ended up getting some drops from the chemist for her (about $17) and they started working straight away (though what a blardy mission to get them in her eyes!) We are on day three now and most of the puss is gone, they just look quite red.

Good luck!]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:31:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1103325&title=conjunctivitus#1103325 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1103041&title=conjunctivitus#1103041 Author: emz

Is it green goo pooling in the corner of his eye, and his eye is weeping a lot? If so, yep it's conjunctivitis. My boy has just had it twice in 3 weeks! Stupid daycares - so easy to spread bugs!

You can get saline eye drops which are fine for over 2's (he's over 2 right? Going by your marriage ticker, pretty sure you got married after T was born?). Also, keep wiping his eyes (wiping only one way, and using the same piece of cloth only once) with a facecloth that has been under boiled water. Allow to cool then wipe. This helps a lot. Failing that, if it hasn't cleared in a few days, go and get antibiotic eyedrops from the Dr. That cleared Jack's 2nd lot in a matter of a couple of days.]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:35:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1103041&title=conjunctivitus#1103041 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1102959&title=conjunctivitus#1102959 Author: MissAngel

Bad spelling, sorry!
Anyways, Thomas has got pusy discharge from both eyes, no pinkness but they're itchy. Not swollen either.. Do you think that might be what it is? We'll be going to the doc tomorrow later in the week cuz theres no appts earlier, but any help now would be good! ]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:17:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34795&PID=1102959&title=conjunctivitus#1102959
