The standard treatment is prescription antibiotic drops which have to be applied several times a day. In most cases, the conjunctivitis resolves in a few days.
Besides eye drops there are also eye ointments for conjunctivitis. Children hate eye drops and thus an eye ointment may be preferable. The only downside to an ointment is that the stuff is gooey and blurs vision temporarily
You must complete the course of antibiotics as set out by your doctor. In the meantime, wash hands frequently and maintain good eye hygiene.
