What is Conjuvitis

Conjunctivitis refers to the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the whites of the eyes and the inner eyelids. In children, this condition is often viral or bacterial in nature and can present with symptoms like redness, itching, excessive tearing, and a discharge that may cause the eyelids to stick together.

What Causes Conjuvitis

Childhood Conjunctivitis is primarily caused by viral or bacterial infections. Viral Conjunctivitis is highly contagious and often associated with respiratory infections, while bacterial Conjunctivitis can result from exposure to bacteria such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus. Allergic reactions or irritants like smoke and pollutants can also trigger Conjunctivitis in children.

How Does Conjuvitis Treatment Work

The treatment for Childhood Conjunctivitis depends on the underlying cause. For viral Conjunctivitis, which is typically self-limiting, supportive measures like cold compresses and proper hygiene are recommended. Bacterial Conjunctivitis may require antibiotic eye drops or ointments prescribed by a healthcare professional. Allergic Conjunctivitis may be managed with antihistamine eye drops or oral medications. It’s crucial to avoid rubbing the eyes and encourage good hand hygiene to prevent the spread of the infection.
