OT: 5yo has conjunctivitis
of all days conjunctivitis decided to visit my 5yo when we're meant to be on a short staycation this weekend??!!! I'm fuming mad because we planned this for like so long!
Hilarious (and true) things kids say.
So DH just got home from work and was sitting down to eat a yogurt, having a chat with DS (5yo). DH has been doing the dishes lately because it absolutely kills my back right now. He didn't get around to doing them last night with plans to do them after eating. So DS asks why he didn't do them last night. DH replies "cuz your dad is just a little bit lazy". Ds quipped "Dad, your SUCH a man" complete with little eye roll


My son has a cough a cold and just got rid of conjunctivitis. Broken out in a rash. Disappeared within an hour. Anyone have any idea what this is?

not best photo but would you say this is conjunctivitis??
Does anyone have experience with blocked tear ducts? I brought my two month old in thinking he had conjunctivitis, but they told me it was a blocked tear duct and the goop could come and go (even with use of the medication). I haven't seen it gooey since his appointment 3 days ago. I'm a first time mom so excuse me if this makes me sound so incredible dumb, but... He produces tears just fine (hate his tears), so what does the blocked tear duct affect?

Anyone have any suggestions besides the obvious for conjunctivitis? Evie is struggling with it, temp of 40.2 which as soon as calpol wears off it’s raging again 😩 only water she’s taking is through a syringe 5ml at a time. Seen by the doctor and they said viral conjunctivitis so nothing they can do 🙄
