Что делать с розовым глазом у ребенка: ехать в Urgent Care или ждать понедельника к педиатру?
My poor kiddo catch a break 😭 got sent home from school because her eye was bothering her and has some discharge coming from it. Fast forward to this evening and she’s complained about it hurting, it’s swelled up, super red, and we have to keep cleaning it because of all the junk. Now her other one is pretty red too with a little discharge here and there but she hasn’t mentioned it bothering her yet. I’m pretty sure it’s pink eye because that’s going around in her school but her Pedi is closed on Friday’s and the other office in town was booked out. Should I have her seen at urgent care tomorrow or wait until Monday to see her Pedi?

Pinkeye is super common and very minor. Most of the time it’s caused by a virus which means there’s nothing you can do for it other than let it run its course. That’s very likely what you’re dealing with. You can make an appt with your pedi if you want to so you can get antibiotic ointment just in case it’s bacterial, but since it’s been going around at school it’s almost certain that it’s viral. I wouldn’t take my kids to the doctor for it unless it didn’t resolve on its own after 4 days or so.
Keep it clean with gentle wiping, use warm compresses to help the swelling/discomfort, and help keep her comfortable.
Disinfect surfaces often and have her wash her hands frequently so that it doesn’t spread to the rest of your household. It should self-resolve in a few days.
@justgotaname, @mommyx2plus1, this is my first experience with pink eye so I’m completely clueless! I had no idea there were drops and stuff for it! I’ll definitely take her tomorrow and hopefully she’ll get some relief! Thank you ladies!
I wouldn’t wait, I would take her to Urgent Care ASAP. There’s no telling what shape her eyes will be in by Monday if she’s needs medication. The eyes can be very delicate.
Also, if she gets on pink eye meds tomorrow (if needed), she should be able to go back to school Monday. I believe she has to be on meds for 24hrs before going back to school…. Not super sure about that, but urgent care could tell you.
I would go tomorrow. Quicker you get the drops the better. Hope she feels better soon!
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
With all the RSV, flu, and Covid going around right now, I definitely wouldn’t be visiting urgent care. If you’re concerned wait til Monday to see your doctor. Pinkeye is not urgent.
