Patient's question:
When I went to bed yesterday morning and noticed that my eyes were painful and felt like there was something foreign in them, and that there was a lot of discharge, I thought it might be a recurrence of my conjunctivitis. However, after putting in eye drops, it didn't improve. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was. For this reason, I would like to ask what the difference is between and conjunctivitis?Doctor's answer:
