pink eye

[Neenee]

my partner has said he has pink eye... what exactly is this? should i have need for concern for his sight?

[chinadog]

Its "Conjuctivitis" inflammation of the eyes. You can get eye ointment from your gp,meantime bathing the eyes with tepid milk helps but use a seperate piece of cotton wool for each eye.

Neenee.........could be conjunctivitis.

Is it one eye or both?
Does it itch?
Are they painful?

Could be a virus, bacteral or allergic depending on your answers.

See your GP
