Visited our son who was on his 3rd day of treatment for pink eye, i developed it 7 days later, after a 2 day visit. could i have gotten it from him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, very likely: Viral conjunctivitis and pink eye is highly contagious. Take careful measures to prevent the spread to your other eye and any others you contact.
