Pink Eye
My son brought home pink eye last week from school - now our toddler has it. The doctor called him in the same drops as my oldest child, but he has it in both eyes and looks worse. Are the antibiotic drops all that is needed to clear this up or do kids go on oral antibiotics too? Any help is appreciated! =)
Thanks!

My daughter got this when she was 3. All I had to give her was the eye ointment. I also used warm water and cotton balls and cleaned her eyes with them, especially when she woke up in the morning or from a nap (and only use the cotton ball for one swipe). Also be sure to wash hands frequently so it doesn't spread anymore and change or wash the bedding daily.
