Conjunctivitis Treatment
Treatment of conjunctivitis depends upon the cause.
Allergic conjunctivitis may respond to treatment for underlying allergies, or it may disappear on its own when the causative allergen is removed. Cool compresses may be soothing for allergic conjunctivitis.
Antibiotic medication, usually eye drops, is effective for bacterial conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis will disappear on its own. The discomfort with viral or bacterial conjunctivitis can be soothed by applying warm compresses (a clean cloth soaked in warm water) to closed eyes.
