Weeping/ sticky eyes

Question

Asked for Female, 40 Years

I have been diagnosed as having conjunctivitis, and have been prescribed eye drops. My eyes are still weeping and are sticky. I have been told conjunctivitis is contagious, so I am wondering if I should stay home and not go in to work (which is at a school)
