Once you get pink eye, how long should i stay home before going back to school?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pink eye: Bacterial conjunctivitis can be appropriately treated with antibiotic eye drops or eye ointment. I usually recommend keeping the child home until he has received 24 hr to 48 hr of antibiotics.
