About Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane lining the eyelid and covering the white part of the eyeball. When managed by an Internal Medicine specialist, the focus is on diagnosing the underlying cause (viral, bacterial, allergic, or irritant) through a comprehensive medical evaluation, as conjunctivitis can sometimes be a symptom of a broader systemic condition. Treatment is tailored to the cause and may include prescription antibiotic eye drops for bacterial infections, antihistamines for allergies, or supportive care for viral cases. The goal is to relieve symptoms like redness, itching, discharge, and swelling, prevent complications, and stop the spread of contagious forms. Internal Medicine doctors provide holistic care, especially for patients with recurrent or severe conjunctivitis linked to other health issues.
