The way your eyes feel and look will provide some clues about the type of pink eye you have. Here are some viral pink eye symptoms:
• Watery eyes accompanied with discharge are usual.
• Discomfort in the eye with itchiness maybe present.
• The infection usually affects one eye but can move to both.
A safe, effective, and potentially less frightening method of putting drops into the eyes involves asking your child to lie down flat, with instructions to merely “close your eyes,” and placing the recommended number of drops in the inner corner of the eye, next to the bridge of the nose, and 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.
