I don't suppose you have breastmilk?
Leaking clearish at this point...would that still work? I can't wait until I have milk again for things like this! Totally forgot!
I know. i want to lactate forever!
It's worth a shot. Otherwise turmeric is another natural remedy.
Thank u! It's less itchy now which makes me think it is just irritated but Im still trying just to be sure!
Lemon juice is a natural remedy for conjunctivitis. It'll sting, but it'll clear it up. Hope your eye feels better soon!
Idk about the lemon juice, I've never heard of that and the acid may be dangerous. I would suggest a hot compress. Otc Artificial tears may help with irritation but conjunctivitis is highly contagious so i would see your eye doc on Monday if you're still bothered with it.Quote:

The milk you're leaking should work fine too!
This as well as saline or salt and water, that combined with bm cleared my daughters up in 2 days! She never cried about the saline only cried because we were holding her down to get it in her eye!Quote:

I would suggest an allergy eye drop that is OTC...
There are now OTC drops for pink eye - they are right with all of the other eye drops.
