“What are the treatment options for viral conjunctivitis?”

My question to you, first is, was your viral conjunctivitis diagnosed by a doctor or by an eye doctor? I ask this because there are many types of conjunctivitis and the treatment varies. For viral conjunctivitis, cool compresses over the closed eye and a clean, cool or cold washcloth placed over the eyelids can provide some relief and possibly relieve some of the inflammation symptoms. This can be done several times a day. Be sure to limit any contact from one eye to the other in order not to contaminate or infect an unaffected eye. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes. Preservative-free artificial tears can be used, using 1-2 drops per eye several times a day. Any debris that accumulates on your eyelids can be cleaned away with a soft wet Kleenex tissue being sure not to rub the eyes. If the conjunctivitis does not clear up within 2-3 weeks or your symptoms get worse, please see your family doctor or an eye doctor. Good luck and best wishes.
