What do you do when you have conjunctivitis?

Ok, I'd like to add something.. Yes, that may help. Conjunctivitis is caused either by allergies, or infection. But they are treated the same way. Conjunctivitis is when the conjunctiva, the outermost layer of the eye, and the inside of the eyelids become swollen. Symptoms are burning, itching, swelling, and you can feel like there is something in your eyes.

#1. DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR EYES. if you leave them alone, they won't bother you as bad. no matter how bad they itch, don't mess with them! it will do you no favors.

#2. Boil 2 cups of water, and add 3 tablespoons of honey. Stir until honey dissolves. Remove from burner. Let cool. Once it is cool, use as eye drops with eyedroppers.

#3. Wet 2 chamomile or echinacea tea bags with cool water, and place one on each closed eye for 10-15 minutes. Echinacea burns a bit though, so I would go with chamomile. If you do not have echinacea or chamomile, any tea will do, but those are the best.

#4. Wet a waschloth with hot water, and place on eyes for 10 minutes. This also works if you use a cold waschloth.

I have conjunctivitis now, so I know these things work!
