A member asked:
Is it likely to have viral conjunctivitis for over a month where it improves and worsens more than once? or could this be something else entirely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy? Other?: Most cases of viral conjunctivitis don't last this long. Allergy seems more likely; or, as you say, "something else entirely". Contact your doctor. If s/he seems to have any doubt about next steps, ask for referral to an ophthalmologist.
