Pink eye is usually nothing to fret about, as it can be easily treated and sometimes even goes away on its own! However, if your child’s case of pink eye is blinding or causing extreme pain, you should come to see us as soon as you can. If it occurs after hours, you can call our on-call pediatrician or take them to the nearest emergency room. Usually, you can treat your child’s case of pink eye with warm compresses, or artificial tear drops to clear away any discharge. If your newborn has pink eye, and you are breastfeeding, you can flush their eyes out with your breast milk three to four times per day. Finally, always remember to wash your hands after caring for your child with pink eye because it is contagious!
