A member asked:
My 10 months baby has conjunctivitis. does she need to see a doc?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Your (her) doc can help determine if conjunctivitis (if that's what it is) is due to allergies or bacterial vs viral infection and thus prescribe appropriate treatment. Or perhaps pink/red eye is due to some other condition that requires referral to ophthalmologist for specialized care.
