Pink eye (1 eye) after Covid recovery.
My son had chronic conjunctivitis since last 10-11 years for which we switched more than 5 doctors in his childhood. We were very surprised that during 2020, (due to lockdown) he did not have any conjunctivitis at all and we did not need to put any eye drops..
Everything was fine, until he got Covid in April 2021. He safely recovered from Covid without much steroid use. Recovery took 16 days.
Current chief issue - pls see his *right eye photos, it is RED* for last 7-8 days. I started putting Refresh tears and Pataday but not much improvement. Should I continue Pataday for 10 more days?? And can his current conjunctivitis be due to Post--Covid?? But then the issue is only with RIGHT eye.

Hi..
There is nothing like chronic conjunctivitis.. some people have allergic tendencies, so they have red eyes, or get recurrent redness, especially children, as they suffer from allergies more often.
Better to be with one doctor and treat problems as and when.
