eye flu ka - #18640
I am really worried about something that’s going on with my eyes. A week ago, I started feeling this itchiness and some redness around my eyes, and honestly, I thought it might just be allergies or something simple, you know? Then, out of nowhere, my 8-year-old son got the same thing, and he’s been rubbing his eyes like crazy! I took him to the doctor, and they said it could be eye flu ka or conjunctivitis, and now I'm freaking out because I don't want this to spread everywhere in my house! My symptoms are just like his—itchy, red eyes, and a little bit of watering. I haven’t seen much improvement even after using the eye drops they prescribed, and I'm worried if I should go back for a follow-up. Is eye flu ka actually contagious? Should I be keeping him away from his friends and me from touching everything? This has really thrown off our routine, and I’m just trying to figure out what to do next. Kinda scared it might get worse or if there are other things we need to watch for. Help! What’s the best way to handle this eye flu ka situation?
