Description

Is your child's eye red, goopy, or itchy? Don't panic—it might be pink eye, but not all pink eye is the same! In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we break down everything parents need to know about conjunctivitis. We'll talk about the most common causes—viral, bacterial, and allergic—plus how to tell them apart, when your child is contagious, and when it's time to see a doctor. Learn which cases clear up on their own, which may need treatment, and when pink eye can signal something more serious.

Practical advice, clear answers, and reassurance from your favorite mama doc and baby doc team—because not every red eye means trouble.
