Children with recurrent conjunctivitis

Many parents are very troubled by the frequent recurrence of their children's conjunctivitis. If conjunctivitis recurs repeatedly, it means that it is not infectious conjunctivitis. Infectious conjunctivitis generally will not recur after being cured as long as you pay attention to not getting infected. Non-infectious conjunctivitis will recur due to a reaction of a certain organism. This article introduces the main symptoms and course of conjunctivitis. Let’s take a look.

Conjunctivitis is divided into infectious conjunctivitis and non-infectious conjunctivitis. Not all conjunctivitis will recur, only certain special types of conjunctivitis will recur, among which infectious conjunctivitis generally will not recur. Non-infectious conjunctivitis mainly refers to allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is an allergic reaction caused by the body's contact with antigens in the environment. It may often recur, such as seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis occurs every spring or autumn. After the season, allergic conjunctivitis will disappear, but it will reappear in the corresponding season of the second year.

Bacterial conjunctivitis depends on its medication. Conjunctivitis of different types and causes has completely different healing periods. For example, chronic conjunctivitis is caused by an irritant and may last for several months or even years. Therefore, how long it takes to cure conjunctivitis, how long it takes to get better, and how long it takes to recover depends on its cause and how it is treated, whether it is symptomatic treatment, whether it is corresponding treatment, and depends on these conditions.
