My daughter may have been exposed to pinkeye. When would symptoms appear if she has it?

Most symptoms would appear within 24 hours. It will settle in while she's asleep at night,because the eyes are closed,and air is not intering the eye. Conjunctivitis (pink eye),is an allergy. It basically comes from exposure to certain flowers,pollen,and cottonwood trees. During the spring,when flowers and trees start to bloom,and you see what looks like cotton in the air, keep her indoors as much as possible. Once it rains,the cottony stuff will disappear. You'll know she has been exposed,when her eyes start to itch a lot,and turn red. When she wakes up in the morning,she will have a sticky white,somewhat crusty substance covering her eyes,to the point where it will be kind of hard for her to open them. There are over-the-counter eyedrops for pink eye. Dab her eyes with cottonballs,dipped in warm water. Do not use washcloths,because you will only spread the allergy. You can do this,until you seek medical treatment. (Good Luck!)

Most cases of pink eye will resolve on their own within 4 weeks, BUT you will be very contagious during that entire time.  The best way to get rid of it (and minimize spread) is to see your eye doctor.  He/she can prescribe eye drops that will treat the infection and shorten the course of the disease.  If you refuse to see a doctor, make sure that you wash your hands often, use your own towels, and don't touch your eyes.  You can use cool compresses and refrigerated rewetting eyedrops for comfort, but they will do nothing to cure it.

There is no "cure", my moms a eye doctor and we talked about it before, there are certain types of drops and medicines to kind of calm the redness and itching down, but if you get it Pink eye should go away any were from 1 week to a month.

Try oatmeal soaks and calamine lotion & try to keep her from scrachring or rubbing it in her eyes, If it's really bad she may need a doctor

She might.  If her mucous is green-ish, you should take her to the doctor.  If she isn't running a fever now, you will probably be okay to wait until Monday.  Good luck.

i would be the person to ask. i had it 4 times last summer. first, it feels like theres something in it, like sand or dirt. then it starts to water uncontrollably. then it gets red and it burns. light hurts it ALOT, umm... a cold or warm wash cloth helps. the only way to tell if it is pink eye is if when you go to sleep and wake up, you can hardly open your eye. it gets stuck closed. theres gooey stuff that comes out. if you have it, i recommend putting a towel on your pillow and changing the towel, wash EVERYTHING you touch, or you will get it multiple times like me. sheets, DONT USE MAKEUP OR CONTACTS, dont wear the same clothes twice, and ifyou use eye drops, dont use them ever again. believe me i am an expert at this.

YES! it happened to my little girl. The doctor told me that the outbreak would be very mild and it was about 2 or three small spots that looked like bug bites.

I assume you're talking about conjunctivitis which is "pink eye"- an infection that makes your eyes red, itchy and crusted and is highly contagious- make sure to wash your hands often!

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

Take your daughter to an eye doctor at once.  EENT's don't usually deal with a lot of eye problems.  Also, you should be wary of any medication that is only available in one place.

It may also be caused by adenoviruses.\n\nBlepharoconjunctivitis is the combination of conjunctivitis with blepharitis.\nKeratoconjunctivitis is the combination of conjunctivitis and keratitis.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Epidemiology \n2 Diagnosis \n2.1 Symptoms \n2.2 Signs \n2.3 Differential diagnosis \n2.4 Investigations \n3 Treatment and management \n4 See also \n5 References \n6 External links \n \n\n\n[edit] Epidemiology\npink eye is basically the best disease that you can have.\n\nThere are three common varieties of conjunctivitis, viral, allergic, and bacterial. Other causes of conjunctivitis include thermal and ultraviolet burns, chemicals, toxins, overuse of contact lenses, foreign bodies, vitamin deficiency, dry eye, dryness due to inadequate lid closure, exposure to chickens infected with Newcastle disease, epithelial dysplasia (pre-cancerous changes), and some conditions of unknown cause such as sarcoidosis.\n\nViral conjunctivitis is spread by aerosol or contact of a variety of contagious viruses, including many that cause the common cold, so that it is often associated with upper respiratory tract symptoms. Clusters of cases have been due to transfer from inadequately-sterilised ophthalmic instruments that make contact with the eye (e.g., tonometers).\n\nAllergic conjunctivitis occurs more frequently among those with allergic conditions, with the symptoms having a seasonal correlation. It can also be caused by allergies to substances such as cosmetics, perfume, protein deposits on contact lenses, or drugs. It usually affects both eyes, and is accompanied by swollen eyelids.\n\nBacterial conjunctivitis is most often caused by pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus from the patient's own skin or respiratory flora. Others are due to infection from the environment (e.g. insect-borne), from other people (usually by touch - especially in children), but occasionally via eye makeup or facial lotions. An example of this is conjunctivitis due to the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius.\n\nIrritant, toxic, thermal and chemical conjunctivitis are associated with exposure to the specific agents, such as flame burns, irritant plant saps, irritant gases (e.g., chlorine or hydrochloric acid ('pool acid') fumes), natural toxins (e.g., ricin picked up by handling castor oil bean necklaces), or splash injury from an enormous variety of industrial chemicals, the most dangerous being strongly alkaline materials.\n\nXerophthalmia is a term that usually implies a destructive dryness of the conjunctival epithelium due to dietary vitamin A deficiency—a condition virtually forgotten in developed countries, but still causing much damage in developing countries. Other forms of dry eye are associated with aging, poor lid closure, scarring from previous injury, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and these can all cause chronic conjunctivitis.\n\n\n[edit] Diagnosis\n\n[edit] Symptoms\n \nEyes with conjunctivitis.Redness, irritation and watering of the eyes are symptoms common to all forms of conjunctivitis. Itch is variable.\n\nAcute allergic conjunctivitis is typically itchy, sometimes distressingly so, and the patient often complains of some lid swelling. Chronic allergy often causes just itch or irritation, and often much frustration because the absence of redness or discharge can lead to accusations of hypochondria.\n\nViral conjunctivitis is often associated with an infe

Pink eye is conjunctivitis.  It is inflammation of the conjunctiva, the layer covering the eyeball. It makes your eye red & inflamed, hence the name.

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox.  That may indeed be the case.  In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away.  Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.\n\nIt also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat."  (The latin term is miliaria rubra.)  You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat.  In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped.  Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.\n\nIf prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order.  Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next.  He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.\n\nI hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness.  In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.
