Schools and parents should educate children to develop the habit of washing hands frequently and protecting their eyes from an early age. Children's toiletries should be kept separate and disinfected frequently to reduce bacterial growth.

2. When classmates or family members show symptoms of conjunctivitis, attention should be paid to the occurrence of cross infection. Children who have been infected with conjunctivitis should also be isolated and reduce visits to public places to avoid spreading the disease to their family members, other children, and others.

5. Children have a rapid growth and metabolism, so they need to strengthen their physical fitness, improve their resistance and reduce the risk of infection.

Once a child is found to have conjunctivitis, do not panic and take the child to treatment in time.
