10 Ways to prevent and cure conjunctivitis

See a doctor

Make sure to seek guidance from a healthcare provider, such as an eye doctor, to confirm the diagnosis and choose the best course of action

Practice good hygiene

 To stop the transmission of infection, wash your hands frequently, especially before touching your face or eyes

Avoid Touching or rubbing your eyes

You can make the situation worse and spread the illness by touching or rubbing your eyes

Use warm compress

Warm compresses can be applied to your closed eyes to relieve discomfort and lessen crusting

Artificial tears

 Artificial tears or over-the-counter lubricating eye solutions may help alleviate dryness and irritation

Avoid contact lenses

If you wear contacts, wait to put them in until your eyes are completely healed

Discard eye makeup

To prevent reinfection, replace any eye makeup that may have come into touch with your infected eyes

Avoid sharing personal items

Never share towels, pillows, or other private goods that can cause the infection to spread

Clean eye discharge

 Apply a clean, wet towel to the area around your eyes and gently wipe away any crusty discharge. Always start with a fresh section of the cloth for each eye, and then wash your hands

Follow prescribed medication

Even if your symptoms become better, make sure to finish the entire course of antibiotics or other medications that your doctor has prescribed
