Patient's question:
My son is now 6 years old. Since two months ago, when we noticed his eyes were a bit red, we took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was conjunctivitis and we started giving him eye drops. After about a month, there was no improvement, and his blinking became even more frequent.Doctor's answer:
Conjunctivitis, also known as acute (catarrhal) conjunctivitis. It usually occurs 1-2 days after infection. Most cases affect both eyes simultaneously. Its characteristics include significant conjunctival congestion and a large amount of mucopurulent discharge. Conjunctivitis generally does not affect vision. Occasionally, due to the attachment of mucopurulent discharge to the corneal surface, temporary blurred vision may occur. Symptoms will disappear immediately after being wiped clean. Conjunctivitis is a common eye disease but should not be taken lightly. Due to its infectious nature, active and thorough measures should be taken during treatment. I recommend seeking medical guidance for treatment.
