Can Conjunctivitis Be Related To A Stomach Virus?
My boyfriend recently had a severe case of pink eye....after applying drops it disappeared. However, immediately after he got this stomach virus where he has non-stop diareah, cramps, and fever. He is never sick, so is it a stomach virus...could the two be related.

Hello
Pink eye is not related to stomach virus.
Usually the viruses causing upper respiratory tract infections are responsible for pink eye.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops for pink eye and for stomach condition need to take antidiarrheal drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
