7 month old has conjunctavitis?

Question

He has been going to child care for the past month for 1 1/2 days a week and he woke up today with it. He has an appointment at the doctors tomorrow, but is there anything i can do for him in the mean time? TIA

Answer 1

Warm saline solution until he gets to the doctors, dont let him go to childcare as they may send him home, it is highly contagious, so make sure the rest of the family and yourself who touch him wash your hands afterwards, we used to use borax acid when I was a kid, but you cant get that over the counter anymore, so use the saline (salty warm water) that will help for now, goodluck! :)

Answer 2

Are you breastfeeding? The best thing would be to put a little breast milk in his eye. That will clear it up faster than any antibiotic. Cleared my sons up in 2 days.

If not, a warm rag to the eye often during the day. Keep it clean and wash your hands often.

Answer 3

Warm wash clothes to wash the gunk out of his eyes. Then wash the clothes with Clorox because conjunctavitas is very contagious.  

Answer 4

A bit of breast milk will give him relief until you can get him to the doctor! He will prob get a dose of antibiotics use them together it works well.

If you are not breastfeeding, warm face washer and wipe from the inside out, once then move to a clean part of the face washer.

hope this helps,

Also be aware that is it very contagious so make sure you keep your hands clean because you could get it too.
