Have any of you noticed this? Pink eye used to be just that, pink eye! It was contagious, you got drops and stayed home.
The last couple of years I have sent kids home with pink eye and the parents or doctor report that it is just a cold in the eye.
Well, this morning I had a mom diagnose her child with a cold in the eye. His eye is all red and when I asked if was goopy too she said yes, but it was just a cold. The baby looks miserable, was in his pjs at noon, and mom is not even working today!!
I looked online and there seems to be no real way to tell if it is viral or infectious conjunctivitis.
