Conjunctivitis:
Conjunctivitis, often referred to as “pink eye,” is inflammation of the membrane that lines the eyeball. Conjunctivitis can be bacterial, viral, or allergic. Both bacterial and viral causes are very contagious and can be spread through contact with eye drainage. The patient along with family members and friends should avoid touching their eyes with their hands, wash their hands frequently, and avoid sharing pillows, towels, and makeup with the infected person. It is advised that children with pink eye stay home from school and activities.
