How Can Transmission Of Conjunctivitis Be Prevented?

I'm caring for a 11 month old who I just found out has pink eye. I watched him today while his eye was irrated, I washed my hands but I'm afraid I wasn't safe enough since I didn't know the extent of the problem. How long will It take me to show symptoms of pink eye and is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Hi,

Proper washing of hands and any clothes or anything which comes in contact with the person having the disease or the with the discharge is required. If proper hygiene is maintained it won’t spread.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita
