What Is Pinkeye?
7. Home Care
As mentioned earlier, most cases of pinkeye do not require treatment because they clear on their own. However, you can do a few things in the comfort of your home to ease the discomfort and probably hasten recovery. Eating more fruits like papaya, tomatoes, and mangos, and leafy green vegetables like spinach provides you with more vitamin A and antioxidants, which can support your recovery.
Personal hygiene can also help. If someone close to you has pinkeye, advise them to avoid touching their eyes or the discharge. They should also wash their hands often, and avoid touching or shaking other people’s hands. Likewise, other people who are in close proximity to the patient should wash their hands often and avoid touching their eyes.
