Question
How should a child be treated if they contract conjunctivitis?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with conjunctivitis, they should seek medical attention immediately. If not treated properly, it may develop into chronic conjunctivitis. During spring when flowers bloom, enhancing prevention is a fundamental approach to controlling pediatric conjunctivitis. It is advisable to avoid taking children to crowded public places. If a child has conjunctivitis, the following measures should be taken: first, practice proper isolation to prevent the child from attending kindergarten, barber shops, or public bathhouses to prevent the spread of the disease; second, boil and disinfect the towels, handkerchiefs, and basins used by the child, dry them thoroughly before use, and prepare separate face-washing utensils for the child.
