PINK EYE Pink eye
ugg jimmy choo a vendre , or conjunctivitis, is redness and inflammation of the membranes (conjuctiva) covering the whites of the eyes and
the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids. These membranes react to a wide
range of bacteria, viruses, allergy-provoking agents, irritants, and toxic
agents, as well as to underlying diseases within the body. Viral and bacterial
forms of conjunctivitis are common in childhood, but they can occur in people of
any age. Overall however, there are many causes of pink eye. These can be
classified as either infectious or noninfectious.Viral pink eye:The leading
cause of a red, inflamed eye is virus infection. A number of different viruses
can be responsible for the infection. Viral pink eye symptoms are usually
associated with more of a watery discharge that is not green or yellow in color.
Often, viral "cold-like" symptoms, such as sinus congestion and runny
nose

require an antibiotic, those affected should see a doctor, as occasionally this
form of pink eye can be associated with infection of the cornea (the clear
portion of the front of the eyeball). This infection must be correctly detected
and treated. Viral pink eye is highly contagious. Viral pink eye usually
resolves in seven to 10 days after symptoms appear.Bacterial pink eye:The
bacteria that most commonly cause infectious pink eye are staphylococci,
pneumococci, and streptococci. Bacterial pink eye symptoms include:1.eye

or greenish in color. The discharge commonly accumulates after sleeping.
Affected children may awaken most unhappy that their "eyes are stuck shut,"
requiring a warm washcloth applied to the eyes to remove the discharge.
Bacterial pink eye is treated by repeated warm washcloths applied to the eyes
(try applying these to your child's eye one eye at a time during a favorite
video) and requires antibiotic eyedrops or ointment prescribed by the doctor. Be
careful not to use medication prescribed for someone else, or from an old
infection, as these may be inappropriate for your current infection or may have
been contaminated from other infections by accidentally touching the medicine
bottle to infected areas. A safe, effective, and "less scary for your child"
method of putting drops into the eyes involves asking your child to lie down
flat, with instructions to merely "close your eyes

letting them make a little "lake" there. When your child relaxes and opens the
eyes, the medicine will flow gently into the infected mucous membranes without
the need to "force open" the eyes. When you feel that you or your child might
have bacterial pink eye, it is very important to see your doctorimmediately for
several reasons. First, if the cause is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic
will be needed to help the infection-fighting immune system to kill this
infection. Secondly, if you are experiencing other symptoms such as a runny
nose, cough, earache, etc., there is a good chance that these symptoms are
caused by the same bacteria

eyes. Finally, your doctor will want to exclude the possibility that the
infection has spread to areas where the symptoms may not yet be
recognizable.Treatment: Pink eye treatment options vary, often depending on
whether your conjunctivitis is caused by a virus or bacteria. Antibiotic eye
ointments or drops may help bacterial forms of conjunctivitis, but don't work
for viral forms. If you have allergic conjunctivitis, artificial tears may help
dilute irritating allergens that may be present in your tear film. Antihistamine
allergy pills or eyedrops also may help control symptoms. For all types of
conjunctivitis, warm compresses placed on the outside of the eyelids and
lubricating eyedrops may help eyes feel better. Antibiotic treatment for
conjunctivitis in newborn infants may be given by injection, by mouth, by eye
drops or by ointment, depending on which germ your doctor suspects is causing
the infection. When oral antibiotics are prescribed, they should be continued
for the full course (often 14 days), even if the eyes appear better after only a
few days.If drops or ointments are to be used, first wipe any mucus or pus off
the lids with a tissue or cotton ball dipped in warm water. Then gently pull the
eyelids apart

for a few seconds. Avoid touching the dropper or tube to the eye. Treat both
eyes even if only one side looks infected.Since tears quickly wash out the eyes,
drops should be given with feedings around the clock. Ointment need be given
only three times a day. Treatment should be continued for five to seven days.
Regular diet and family activities with the baby can continue during this
illness.Prevention: Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis, which can be caused
by airborne sources, spread easily to others. So your first line of defense is
to avoid the cause of conjunctivitis, such as contaminated hand towels. Never
share washcloths, towels or pillowcases with anyone at home or in a public
environment. Don't share eyedrops or cosmetics such as eyeliner, eye shadow or
mascara. If you have pink eye, replace these items to avoid re-infection after
your recovery. Swim goggles are good protection against organisms that can cause
pink eye. Keep windows and doors closed on days when the airborne pollen count
is high.Dust and vacuum frequently to eliminate allergens in the home. Stay in
well ventilated areas if you're exposed to smoke, chemicals or fumes. If you are
a swimmer, try protective swim goggles. .
