I have one who was sent home this week for pink eye. There was SO much drainage from the eye--I really should have called for pick-up before I did, but I waited until the eye looked red and puffy because parents have claimed "cold in the eye" before. I don't know. Can you have drainage from your eye from a cold? It is confirmed pink eye this time.
The child needs eye drops every 4 hours or so throughout the day for about a week. Do you guys do this? Should I do it? I'm pregnant and the thought of wrestling with a 2.5 year old to put in eye drops (on top of everything else I have to do) sounds.... eh.
And when do you let a child with pink eye return to care?
Thanks!
