What is conjunctavitas
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis is inflammation if the outer eye covering caused by allergy, viruses or bacteria. Allergic causes can be relieved by Benedryl, Zyrtec or Claritin (loratadine). Viral causes are self limiting (contagious but resolve on their own). Bacterial causes are treatable only by prescription antibiotic drops. Careful handwashing and avoiding towel sharing can help reduce spread to others.
