A member asked:
Can i cure my conjunctivitis naturally by keeping my eyes closed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most cases of conjunctivitis are self-limited (meaning they end whether or not they are treated). Keeping your eyes closed may make them feel better, but this will not help your infection get better.
