[|Human|] My son has pink eye that he was given eye drops for. That was before his fever came,so I assume he has the viral type. Nothing is helping him and he isn t getting better. Is it dangerous? Fever still there for days and eye not improving. He is missing lots of school. Anything that can be done for him?
[|AI|]  Persistent pinkeye could be from a severe allergy or infection that needs treatment. Also, the eyelid could be irritated called blepharitis. Hay fever is caused by an allergy to pollen. Pollen is the name given to the fine powder that is produced by plants, trees or flowers to fertilize other plants, trees or flowers of the same speciesLikely your child have Allergic pinkeye symptoms, that should improve once the allergen source is removed and the allergy itself is treated. Cold compresses or warm compresses (whichever feels best) can be used. If an allergy is the problem, a cool compress may feel better. Warm, moist compresses can spread infection from one eye to the other. Use a different compress for each eye, and use a clean compress for each application. Avoid the cause of the allergy, if possible. For example, if you have seasonal conjunctivitis then during the hay fever season try to avoid pollen by staying indoors as much as possible. Close windows and by wear wrap-around sunglasses when out. For pinkeye related to allergies, antihistamines, such as loratadine (Clarity) or cetirizine (Zyrtec), may help relieve your children symptoms. Don't give antihistamines to your child unless you've checked with the doctor first.MEDICINES:Antihistamine nasal spray. Antihistamine tablets (or liquid medicines).
