SORE EYES STRIKES BACK!

I didn't know that sore eyes could infect a person more than once within a short period. That's what happened to JM. I posted it here last Mid-September that JM have sore eyes. Now...a month after, he have sore eyes again. And this time it is more serious because his eyes are swollen and real red. More than that, hubby also have sore eyes and he got it from JM :(.

We really need to be more cautious this time as we do not who will be the next victim. There is a high risk that one of us would get it.

SORE EYES GOING AROUND

Sore eyes is an inflammation of the inner eyelid, caused by a viral infection. The infection is transmitted by touch. It lasts around three to four days.

It’s annoying, but hardly life-threatening. The inconvenience brought about by sore eyes, however, especially with its highly contagious nature, is best controlled by minimizing exposure to other people. People with low resistances will be more prone to sore eyes than others.

But still no matter how careful we are...we can still get it anywhere at anytime...

When JM arrived from school yesterday, his eyes were red and itchy.We immediately called his pedia to schedule him for a check-up. I was worried because i know we will be stuck again in the clinic for long hours since it is already weekend in which bulk of patients normally go there. So it's a good thing that her assistant nurse just advise us on what to medicate initially to relieve the discomfort brought about by the virus.

I am more anxious now for my little girl, my eldest and to all of us in the house who might get infected also. Currently, we're doing the precautionary measures to avoid getting the virus by:

1. Washing hands frequently.
2. Avoid touching  faces to minimize the possibility of bringing the virus to the eyes.
3. Limiting our interaction with JM and keeping him isolated. (i admit that this is the hardest part)
