Have a Better Life

My daughter had a severe conjunctivitis this last days as I wrote on my family blog. Although a highly contagious disease, no one in the house got really sick, I just had a few itching in my eyes but no need for treatment.

Here is some information regarding conjunctivitis:

Infection symptoms:

• Lacrimal eyes
• Red eyes
• Eyelids “glued” specially in the morning
• Sensibility to the light
• Seems that we have sand grains inside the eyes
• Itchy
• Watery discharge
• Foggy vision

Avoid contagion:

• Wash the hands frequently
• Avoid touching the eyes
• Do not share towels
• Don’t use other people cosmetics
• Don’t share eye medication
• Don’t use contact lenses during the conjunctivitis
• Protect the eyes from water with chlorine
