Pink eye

Moms View Message Board: Parenting Discussion: Archive January-June 2004: Pink eye

Well, it looks like my dd is going to catch every little thing that goes around! She has pink eye--poor thing. This is the second time she has had it, and I just hate it for her. So in between all of our drs visits for her unknown fevers we had to make a trip for this. I guess it is true that life with kids is never boring!

Poor thing! Is she feeling better? Pink eye is not fun when you are an adult. I can't imagine being a child. I hope it's better now!

My son gets pink eye quite often, and actually, he has it now too, along with a cold, cough, and fever, he is 9 years old. Anyways, I was doing a search online and found out there is an over the counter pink eye medication (eye drops) and they said you could find it at Wal Mart..can't remember now the brand name of it, but I am sure it is with all the other eye drops, I am going to go look for it this week, since my son has probably had pink eye about 10 times in his life so far. With my son, I know that the reason he gets it so often is due to his rheumatoid illness, he was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis last summer. Hope your daughter feels better soon!!
