How should children be treated for pink eye?
Medical isolation at home:
Ensure good personal hygiene for children, including washing hands before touching eyes and avoiding sharing personal items related to eyes. Avoid direct exposure to bright light by making sure your child wears glasses or a hat when going out during the day. Keep the environment around your child clean and well-ventilated. Avoid letting your child come into contact with others while he or she is infectious.
Clean your baby's eyes regularly:
Use a clean cotton ball or gauze pad to gently wipe your child's eye area from the inner corner to the outside. Use clean water or eyewash solution to clean your child's eyes, but make sure the water or solution does not irritate your child's eyes.
Monitor your child's eye condition regularly:
Check your child's eyes daily for signs of abnormalities, such as redness, swelling, drainage or pus. If the pink eye does not subside after a while, or there are other signs such as fever, vomiting, or difficulty breathing, take your child to the doctor for timely examination and treatment.
