Purulent discharge is so much that when you wake up, sometimes you can not open eyelids and eyelashes.
Eyes with conjunctivitis can itch, hurt or blush so that you will look like a laboratory mouse. Finally, they can seriously suffer, and if it is a bacterial or viral infection, you can infect everyone with whom you communicate. What to do? Start with a visit to the doctor. If you have an infection, he will advise drops that will speed recovery and reduce the contagious (infectious) period. In the meantime, you will struggle with the itch and unsightly appearance of home remedies.
FIGHT AGAINST.
Cold or hot compresses help. If from the eyes constantly something oozes, moisten the napkin with warm water and apply it to the eyelids, so that they do not dry out sticky discharge. Cold compress (soak a napkin in icy water) helps with swelling and itching, especially with allergic conjunctivitis. Use any of these drugs (or both in turn) for 5 minutes three to four times a day. Always use a clean cloth.
Wipe off the eyelid, including dried ones, with a cotton swab dipped in a mixture of baby shampoo with warm water (1:10). Water dissolves crusts, and shampoo cleanses the skin.
Rinse your eyes with salted water. Pour a teaspoon of salt into a 0.5 liter boiling water and boil for another 15 minutes. Bury this solution in the eye with a sterile pipette. Boil it after each use.
The infection helps wash the eyes with yellow-root infusion. It contains berberine, a substance with bactericidal properties. A teaspoon of dry herbs, insist 10 minutes in a glass of boiling water, then strain and allow to cool. Bury three times a day with a sterile pipette.
AT DREAFLY COMING.
If the doctor has prescribed eye drops, or an ointment with antibiotics or corticosteroids, use them every night before going to bed. This will not allow the eyelids to stick together in a dream. Do not touch the eyes with a pipette, but touch the tube only once. Otherwise, you will introduce microbes into the medicine, and next time back into the eye.
ACCESSION TO THE THOUGHT.
Soothe the eyes with a chamomile compress. Hold the tea bag with chamomile in warm (not hot) water for 2-3 minutes, then squeeze out water and apply for 10 minutes to the eyes. Repeat three to four times a day, always using fresh sachets. During the procedure, keep your eyes closed so that the infusion does not directly contact them.

Strain the juice, and put the thick to the closed eyes. After a few minutes, wipe your eyelids clean and look at the world with a fresh look.
Another Ayurvedic recipe: at least 15 minutes, insist a teaspoon of coriander seed in a glass of boiling water. Then strain the dregs, cool and flush closed eyes with liquid. Before opening them, carefully wipe off the eyelids.
BACK OF INFECTION.
In order not to put the infection in the eye again, refuse until full recovery from makeup and contact lenses. That make-up set that was used when the conjunctivitis developed, discard.
Do not touch your eyes. If accidentally touched, immediately wash your hands with soap and dry them with paper napkins or hot air. Do not use a multi-use towel.
If you need to get wet eyes, use a separate napkin for each. Immediately throw them in a closed polyethylene bag, do it yourself and again wash your hands thoroughly.
Carry with you and use bactericidal gel for hands more often.
If you wear contact lenses, wash and sterilize them in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, even if neither you nor any of the others have the slightest signs of conjunctivitis. Wash your hands before inserting and removing the lens. Do not wash your lenses with your own saliva.
At home after eating, put your appliances and dishes in the sink. Do not let anyone touch them.
Every day, wash a towel, sponge and pillowcase. This will help protect the sick eye from re-infection, and healthy - from infection. In addition, do not forget that someone from your family can accidentally use your towel.
Let the bed stellet and remove the other. Infection can spread from your hands to your underwear.
If conjunctivitis in your child who is too young to strictly observe the rules of hygiene (rubbing his eyes and not washing his hands afterwards), isolate him from other children until he is fully recovered.
FIGHT AGAINST ALLERGY.
If the eyes are strongly itchy and secrete a viscous transparent secret, it looks like your conjunctivitis is allergic. Take an internal antihistamine to relieve itching and swelling.
Allergic inflammation is helped by a combination of vitamin C and quercetin. Recommended daily doses of 1000 mg (in several doses) and 1500 mg respectively. Quercetin refers to the so-called bioflavonoids, plant pigments with anti-inflammatory properties.

In the case of a bacterial infection, medical intervention can prevent serious complications.
DO NOT!
Some herbalists recommend treating conjunctivitis with a fascia. This herb is traditionally used to relieve various eye disorders.
