Children with conjunctivitis present a red eye due to inflammation of the conjunctiva.

Conjunctivitis has many forms in relation to the cause that induces it, such as: germs, viruses, other micro-organisms, allergies, toxicity etc., but also in relation to its persistence time (acute, chronic).

It manifests with a red eye, various types of discharges (mucus, eye boogers, tears), concomitant eyelid edema, concomitant inflammation of the cornea, pain, itching, burning sensation and foreign body sensation.

The treatment of conjunctivitis depends on its etiology and is determined by the medical specialist.
