A member asked:
I had conjunctivitis. a week later, my eyes have been really itchy and tend to burn. are these related?

Shouldn't happen: If your primary infection was treated appropriately your symptoms should have resolved. Prolonged redness and itching may be an indication that you are sensitive to one of the components in the medication. In the case of viral conjunctivitis, it can take up to two weeks for it to completely resolve.
