How to treat pediatric conjunctivitis?

Patient's question:

My child has always been in good health, but recently she has been complaining that she can't see things clearly. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, they found that she had conjunctivitis. But I'd like to ask, what are the treatment methods for pediatric conjunctivitis?

Doctor's answer:

Once children contract conjunctivitis, they should seek medical attention promptly. If the treatment is not thorough, it may develop into chronic conjunctivitis. With the arrival of spring and the blossoming of flowers, strengthening prevention is the fundamental approach to preventing and treating conjunctivitis in children. We should try our best to avoid taking children to crowded public places. If a child develops conjunctivitis, the following measures should be taken: First, appropriate isolation is necessary. Children should not visit kindergartens, hair salons, or bathe to prevent the spread of the disease. Second, towels, handkerchiefs, and basins used by children should be boiled and disinfected; they should be used after drying and dedicated face-washing utensils should be prepared for children.
