Treatments Your Provider May Prescribe
Topical antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, or anti-allergy drops may all be prescribed by your child's doctor. Even though the treatments may be difficult to put in the child's eye(s), make sure to complete the full prescribed course. If the pink eye is related to another disease elsewhere in the body (such as allergies, ear infections, or respiratory disease), oral medications may be prescribed.
