[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son frequently gets what most people think is pink eye, but it's really a result of allergies.[/quote]

Not every red eye is contagious pink eye.  Could be something else.[/quote]

OP, Well, it followed a long cold (I know this because we spent many days setting up and cancelling dates due to illness).  Both eyes were very red and goopy. And the other mom complained about how hard it was to wake her baby up from the nap b/c her eyes were so crusted over, and she hates washcloths.  I always try to give the benefit of the doubt. However, there is really no doubt here!

Thank you for your suggestions.  It sounds like about 1/3 of you don't even think pinkeye is a big deal.  Interesting as daycare definitely advises kids with pinkeye stay home.  [/quote]

Believe me, I know how much of a big deal it is and I'm happy to keep my kid home if he actually had pink eye; but it's infuriating when I have to keep him home from school because of an allergy.

Not too long ago, I had what I thought was pink eye.  It was flaming red and there was some discharge - classic, right?  But the drops didn't work.  Eventually a nurse practitioner gave me allergy drops, and the eye cleared up within an hour. [/quote]
