What Is The Treatment For Conjunctivitis?
I took my 19 month old to our PCP because he was running a fever and throwing up. I was told it was a GI bug and he needed to let it pass. He hasn't thrown up (or really eaten) for 2 days. Today he had milk for the first time and immediately threw up again. Do I need to go back to the doctor for a second opinion or is this normal?
Also, he developed conjunctivitis AFTER leaving the pediatrician's office. I have been using a compress. Are there any other remedies. Could these be related somehow?
