How does a doctor determine if your diagnosis is viral or bacterial conjunctivitis?

Clinically: A history and clinical examination is essentially all that is needed to diagnose a bacterial or viral conjunctivitis. infrequently, conjunctival cultures are taken to confirm the pathogen responsible for the infection, whether bacterial, fungal or viral.
