Conjunctivitis often causes redness, watering, itching, a burning sensation, sticky discharge, swelling, or irritation in the eyes. It can happen due to viral infection, bacterial infection, allergy, dust exposure, or contaminated hands and towels. The infection can easily spread through touching the eyes or exchanging personal items. Quick relief may improve with proper eye hygiene, adequate rest, and avoiding eye rubbing. Cold compresses, lubricating eye drops, and gently cleaning discharge with clean cotton or water may help soothe irritation and reduce discomfort. If the conjunctivitis is bacterial, doctors may prescribe antibiotic eye drops, while antihistamine eye drops may help allergic conjunctivitis. Avoid contact lenses, eye makeup, smoke, dust, and excessive digital exposure until eyes recover. Washing hands frequently and using separate towels or pillow covers may also help prevent the spread of the infection to others. Do eye exercises only after the irritation improves, and avoid touching your eyes repeatedly. Consult a doctor if vision becomes blurry, severe pain occurs, swelling increases, light sensitivity becomes severe, or thick pus discharge persists despite treatment.
