Best Doctors for Conjunctivitis Treatment in Khammam

Infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva which is the part that oversees the white part of the eye along with the inner eyelids is known as a conjunction pink eye or conjunctivitis. However, while its cause is the same it can sometimes be a virus, bacteria, or even allergens like pollen or dander. In that regard, while for viruses or bacterial conjunctivitis this disease may spread through close contact with an infected individual or with a surface carrying a contaminated agent. The symptoms of the disorder include redness, itchiness and burning of the eyes, tearing, and discharge of infected mucosa that glue the eyelids together in the morning. More viscous, yellowish discharge than normally seen leads to suspicion of bacterial conjunctivitis rather than the thin, watery discharge characteristic of a viral infection.

Severe itching is usually present with allergic conjunctivitis and generally involves both eyes. This once again depends on the cause. Viral conjunctivitis will most of the time, resolve on its own but some will need treatment with antibiotic eye drops, in particular if a bacterial infection is present. The allergy-based type of conjunctivitis can be treated with antihistamines and also by avoiding contact with any allergens. Good health hygiene practices such as handwashing and not touching the eyes prevent infectious conjunctivitis from spreading.
