Question

My infant has pink eye, what should I do.

Answer 1

She needs to go to the doctor..... They will prescribe a antibacterial eye drop for her.

Answer 2

Usually if your baby has pink eye the doctors office will call in a prescription to your pharmacy.  Cause Pink eye is highly contagious.  If the baby is a small infant it is possible that the tear ducts are just clogged.  The way to figure it out is if you whipe the goop out of the eye does it come back right away?  If so then it is pink eye.  Another home remedy is to get boric acid powder.  Put a small pinch into some water and stir it.  Put it on a wash cloth and then gently wipe the eye with the solution.  You don't need to make a lot and you should clean the eye 2-3 times a day.  Make sure you wash your towel and wash your hands too so you don't get pink eye as well.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

Call your doctor and ask for advice.  

Pink eye can show up when you least expect it, and it is very contagious. There is more than one type of pink eye, and how you treat it depends on the type. If it is bacterial you need antibiotic ointment or drops. There is no particular treatment for viral pink eye. If it is an allergy that is causing your difficulty you may need anti-inflammatory medication or antihistamines. Frequent hand washing is crucial to prevent spreading the virus or bacteria, depending on which type your baby has.
