If its any conciliation Infective conjunctivitis is caused by viruses or bacteria infecting your eye. The <a title="Click for definition" href="../../glossary/#Immune system">immune system fights it, causing swelling. Infection is the most common cause of conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis caused by an infection usually clears up on its own after a few days.
Might need summat stronger though http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/eyes/207887.html</p> Like a prescription.</p>
Sorry you're not well, don't worry the infection will soon clear up. At least you don't have to put drops in every hour like I should!
Cheers you ;-) Tbh im not unwell, I feel ok. A tad itchy, but nothing major. The fluid I am putting in goes in every 2 hours. Another half an hour and i'll be on my 3rd dose.
