eye flu treatment in home - #14425

Shreya

I am really worried about my son. He’s been complaining about itchiness and redness in his eye for a few days, and now it looks kinda swollen. After doing some reading and talking to a friend, I think it might be eye flu or viral conjunctivitis. I know they say there's no magic fix, but I really want to find an effective eye flu treatment in home options because we are trying to avoid any trips to the doctor if possible. I tried warm compresses which may help a little but honestly, he’s getting restless and I feel like I need to do more. The discharge looks kinda watery and he says it stings sometimes! Should I be using anything else for the eye flu treatment in home, like certain drops or even just saltwater rinses? I don’t know if pushing fluids or something would help too. Plus, can eye flu treatment in home be effective enough, or do we eventually have to see a doctor? I'm not a natural remedy expert, so just feeling a bit overwhelmed here. Any advice from y’all who might have dealt with this before? Thanks!!!
