eye flu means - #13306
I am really worried about what I’ve been experiencing lately. A few days ago, my eyes started feeling super itchy and red, and then I noticed some clear discharge, ugh! I thought maybe it was just allergies or something, but then I heard my friend mention “eye flu means” and it freaked me out. Is there actually something like eye flu? Like could my symptoms be a sign of that? I don’t have a fever or anything, and I feel fine otherwise, but I just can’t shake this feeling. My eyes are watery all the time, and I’m struggling to keep them open, honestly. My doctor said it might be a viral infection, but when they said “eye flu means” could it actually be contagious? Am I gonna pass this on to my kids? They haven't complained yet but I'm really worried they might catch it. I’m trying to figure out what I should do in terms of treatment. Should I just wait it out or is there something more I should be doing? I’m feeling lost and honestly a bit scared, I’ve never had anything like this before. Can anyone explain what eye flu means and give me some advice? I would really appreciate it!
