Conjunctivitis Help

I have also used breatmilk, it works majic on conjuctivitis. If you ever have any sores or scratches I recommend Paw paw cream. I have some with me in my baby bag as a nappy barrier cream and for well everything.

I am not downplaying any of what you all have said, so take this with a "grain of salt" , hahaha ... Sticky eye is one thing and I am glad to learn from you all how to take care of it with a salt water solution or with a damp tea bag. Those are great ideas and this info will come in handy for future use ...  But true "conjunctivitis" (also known as Pink Eye) is very contagious and a very wicked thing.  My boy had it in both eyes just last week. He woke up with slightly red eyes and by afternoon his eyes were getting puffy and his nose was runny. I called my husband at work and told him I thought our boy was getting his first cold. By the time my husband got home from work that evening, the little guy's eyes were swollen, runny, and discharging yellow stuff .... You had to see him to understand how concerned we were ... We went to the emergency room (since our regular doctor was closed by then) and Jacob was diagnosed with conjunctivitis, given a shot of anti-biotics and a prescription for medicated eye drops ... We were told to wash our hands thoroughly after handling him because what he had was very contagious ... Now, keep in mind that my boy is one year old and he picked up the virus after having some children visit for his birthday and he rubbed his eyes which infected them ... Little ones, like your 3 month old, often have common sticky eye .... that is natural and common and the home remedies suggested are great ideas .... This type of thing I call having "Eye Boogers" (like boogers in the nose, haha!) ... My Jacob had eye boogers very often when he was a little one too.... I am posting this comment to make sure there is an awareness that there is a difference between having major eye boogers and having an actual eye infection ... Major eye boogers are very common and can be healed with home care, whereas eye infections become severe very quickly and need medical attention. I had conjunctivitis (pink eye/eye infection) in one of my eyes years ago ... I woke up with irritation in the eye, then later redness, followed by puffiness, including sensitivity to light, swelling, discharge, watering ... and it progessed swiftly and was very painful ... I too had antibiotics and medicated eye drops .... So take this all in with a "grain of salt" .... For eye boogers and sticky eye treat well with home remedies, but pay close attention and if it is trully conjunctivitis then seek medical attention ....

I found what works great is breast milk

its also great on nappy rash too

I love chamomile and tell everyone I come across about its healing powers. It is also great for rashes and I brew the flowers and put it in the bath or use it as a face wash. My step dad had conjunctivitis over the weekend. I told him to use chamomile and vua la, his eyes improved very quickly. I buy big bags of the dried flowers from the health food shop. It works out much cheaper than teabags.  I also love salt water but only if it is from the ocean. It has some pretty amazing healing powers too.

I found for me it worked real fast was salt water and a cotton ball.. I nearly jumpped on my mum when she suggested it.. Anyway any minute that I left my son with my mum she would do it, normally this does not sound like a good mummy, but I love my mum and I forgave her for lying to me... Anyway... Two days later, it had all cleared up real nice.. I said look at that its cleared up real nice.. Mum turns to me and says thats because I have been usuing salt water... AHHHHHHHHHHH but it worked and he was not complaining and in this case mum did know what she was doing... LOL 

Just disovle some salt in warm water and wipe the eye from the inside of the nose to the outside of the eye... Worked wonders for my boy.. Not saying that your teabag won't work.. But i don't really drink tea so I did not have any handy...
