Reoccurring Conjunctivitis

My lil girl (10 months) has now had this 3 times in the space of a month - no sooner do we get rid of it ) clear for around 4 days then its back again.

Today she has got it again after treating for a week - her cold even cleared up and its back again with High temp

Both times before we have been given eye drops for her (which cleared it)

I am over it and pretty sure she will be too...

Anybody has the same experience and what did you use to finally rid her of it..

I am wondering if it caused by allergy as she has been well all year till it came into spring and now we have had cold and con.. ever since!

Gabrielle has this problem, I am sure it is allergies but I am yet to fix that. We went to the paed for something else about 2 months ago and she said I should use saline drops when it looks like it is getting gunky. Works quite well when I can actually get the stuff in her eyes. First sign of things looking yuck in her eyes and I put the saline drops in and it goes away. Trouble is that Gabrielle hates eye drops and its hard to get them in her eyes. But I also put a tsp of salt in about 2 cups of warm water, mix it a bit and then soak the face cloth in it. Then I wipe it over the eye that gets gunky. It seems to stop the infection in its track.
