10 Conjunctivitis Symptoms
Conjunctivitis Symptom #6: Itching
Inflammation is likely to irritate whichever part of the body it is affecting. The eye is no exception and conjunctivitis can be very itchy indeed.
Viral conjunctivitis is very contagious, meaning that you should try to avoid touching it at all. This can be very difficult to do when the eye is itching, however, meaning the virus is more likely to be spread. Constant itching can also lead to physical damage to the eye, so it is a good idea to try and cover it to prevent scratching.
