Pink eye

My lil man is sick sick for the first time :/ He had pink eye and today is day 1 of having it. It seems to be discharging a lot. We already got his drops prescribed. What else do you recommend to make this go as smoothly as possible and as quickly as possible ?

Put your breast milk in his eyes

My daughter got pink eye a month or so ago. I got gloves so I can touch her eye and hold it open cause it’s contagious. After 1 day immediate improvement

@Kimmy unfortunately he got it from me so I already have it 🙃

If the drops don’t help, we had to switch to putting in an ointment on the bottom of her eye (pediatrician gave it to us) and it helped after 2 days. Just hang in there!

I second Evane. I got pink eye from my son awhile back. I put 2 drops of breast milk in each eye and it was gone by the afternoon

ugh, poor little dude! just keep up with the drops and make sure to clean his eyes gently with a warm washcloth to help with the discharge, and lots of cuddles always help too! Just looked it up on the 'Heal App' and here's what it says: "I'm sorry to hear your little one is dealing with pink eye; it can be tough for both of you. Since you already have the prescribed eye drops, make sure to administer them as directed. Additionally, keep his hands clean and encourage him not to touch his eyes to prevent further irritation or spreading the infection. You can also use a warm, damp cloth to gently clean any discharge from his eyes, which can help him feel more comfortable. How is he feeling otherwise? Is he showing any signs of discomfort or other symptoms?
