A member asked:
I have ointment for my son's pink eye, how often do i apply it, since its been so long since he has had it i forgot how often to apply it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on what medicine is in the ointment. Pink eye is most often viral and does not require treatment. If it is bacterial then most commonly antibiotic eye drops would be recommended. Hope this helps.
