how to cure eye flu fast at home - #13319

Advika

I am really worried about this annoying issue I’ve been dealing with. A couple of days ago, my eyes started feeling super watery and itchy. I thought maybe it was just allergies, but then it got worse, and now they’re red and swollen. I went to the doc, and they said it was probably eye flu or viral conjunctivitis, whatever that means. I asked the doctor how to cure eye flu fast at home, but they basically just said to keep them clean and maybe use some warm compresses. But honestly, that feels like it’s gonna take forever! I mean, I can barely go out like this; I have plans this weekend and need to be looking decent. I read somewhere about some home remedies like chamomile tea bags and saline solutions. Are these actually effective? Does anyone know how to cure eye flu fast at home that might actually work? I just want this gone. Also, if I try anything at home, I wonder if it's safe? Like can I mix some peppermint oil in water and use that? Or is it too harsh for my sensitive eyes? Please help me figure out how to cure eye flu fast at home before I miss my plans.
