A member asked:
After or during a cold, without conjunctivitis. my eyes are immune to the same serotype of the virus too or only the respiratory system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generalized: If the cause of the cold is a virus that could cause conjunctivitis, then your conquest of the cold will immunize you against conjunctivitis from that particular strain.
