Anybody can get pink eye, properly referred to as conjunctivitis. If there is mucous discharge, then it is usually conjunctivitis. You do have to make sure that they don't have dacryocystitis, which also causes mucous discharge. See your eyecare professional to determine which is occurring. Be careful if you plan on using any on hand antibiotics because certain types can actually harm young children/infants.

What if your 5 year old continues to have a red pink eye after 10 days of prescried eye drops what could this be?

Could be that she is rubbing the eye, or it could be that the antibiotic in your eye drops are not correct for killing the bacteria. You should immediately go to the doctor and ask if the 5 year old doesn't need a different kind of eye drops. These things can very quickly lead to infections inside the eye, which can lead to blindness.


My 1 yr old's doctor prescribed him gentamicin eye drops for pink eye i dont have insurance and now i have pink eye is it ok for me to take his eye drops?

Gentamicin is pretty safe, I would go ahead as long as it's not expired. If you happen to live in Canada, you can get Polysporin eye drops which work as well or better.

Can you use eye drops prescribed for your other child for your 5 year old son who now has pink eye?

First, 'these eye drops" could be anything from normal saline, to something prescribed for an adult's eye condition. Second, NO medication prescribed OR used for 1 child or adult should ever be used by another child or adult. The dropper itself can become contaminated. Also, liquid medications--solutions-- can precipitate out, meaning, part of it can settle to the bottom as a solid or semi-solid (like sugar in tea; or salt in salt water). Medication that has precipitates in it should be thrown away. Third, pink eye is VERY contagious and can spread fast so you or others around your 5 year old can contract it. Go to the doctor and get the right medication for THIS child.
