Conjunctivitis: If it happens that your conjunctivitis is caused by a virus, you can cure it yourself. However, you would be very contagious. Be it as it may, you need to have your doctor see you to confirm whether it is viral or bacterial (need antibiotics) . If viral, eye drops are also prescribed to prevent corneal complications.
