As the colder months approach, eye infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye) become more common, especially among school-aged children. Pink eye causes redness, itching, swelling, and discharge, making it highly contagious and uncomfortable.
Signs of Conjunctivitis:
• Redness in the whites of the eyes
• Itching or burning sensations
• Swollen eyelids
• Discharge that may cause the eyes to stick together, especially after sleeping
Prevention Tips:
1. Practice Good Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes.
2. Avoid Sharing Personal Items: Towels, pillows, and eye makeup should not be shared.
3. Disinfect Surfaces: Clean frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, counters, and keyboards.
4. Stay Home if Infected: If your child has pink eye, keep them home from school to prevent spreading the infection.
