Probable conjunctivitis

2017-09-11 03:59:15
My roommate has been diagnosed with conjunctivitis. As a precaution I'm using sanitizer and washing my hands whenever possible. And also have stopped wearing contact Lenses for a while. But I was just wondering if there were any other precautions or medicines that I should use so as to keep myself safe.
