Dear Cammy,
I am so sorry to hear about your continued discomfort.
chloramphenicol is actually an antibiotic and usually does the trick for conjunctivitis within two to three days.
please do see your GP as your symptoms could be related to a pysiological issue with the eye that may cause infection....or a general virus etc.
Your GP may prescribe a more focused and stronger antibiotic cream,drops or refer you to an ophthalmologist...or evaluate for other causes.
oh Cammy I wish you well soonest.😌🌻🌻
take care and please let me know how you get on.
kind regards
kitekato
i hope you do let me know how you get on
Dear Kitekato,
Thanks so much for your kind words!
I'm going to keep trying with the eye drops I got until the end of the weekend, then if everything is still the same, go back to the pharmacist and visit the doctor maybe.
It feels quite heavy in between my nose and just up to before the start of my head. I think I might have a virus or something that's causing all this but I'm not sure. 
It's so annoying though, I just wish it would go! 
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it, I'll let you know how I get on!
Best wishes,
Cammy 
Hi Cammy. i've been away from technology for the past couple of days. hence delay in getting back to you. Cammy this seems to be going on a bit, so i'd suggest a trip back to the Pharmacist. the mild discharge you're experiencing, may well be the 'end' result of an infection. however, such things are easily remedied if it continues. do have a word with the local Pharmacist and see what they suggest.

Hi Catherine. Please don't worry about that, it's fine!
Thanks so much. I'm going to try and go back there in the morning! I've started noticing that my eyes feel a little heavy and the area from my nose to my forehead and round my eyes is a little sore (a bit like a light bruise feeling) For example, if I raise my eyebrows, I can feel it a little. I think this could be some sort of sinus infection that is causing all this? On a plus note, even though my eyes are still a little bloodshoot, the watering and general itchiness has gone done somewhat!
Thanks again.
Cammy
I forgot to mention that I still have not had any headaches. I'm still a bit sensetive to TV and computer light though Even though my sinuses do feel a little sore, I don't have any mucus. The only flu symptoms that I have seem to be a runny nose at times and a lot of sneezing. But, no mucus cough or anything like that.
Hi Cammy. it certainly does indeed sound like a bi of ''sinusitis''. and i think it's a good idea to see the Pharmacist again tomorrow. do let us know how it goes.
C
Hi Catherine. Thanks so much! I'll make sure I try and get down there tomorrow. Do you think I should try and get something for my eyes or something that will help fight the sinusitis? My eyes have actually felt better today and I feel more a bit more comfortable looking at the TV and Laptop.
I'm going to boil some water in the kettle then put it in a pan and hold my face over the top and breathe in and out as I heard it helps.
Thanks again.
Cammy
Hi guys, so just a quick update.
I visited the chemist today and she thought that it's possible that I have both conjunctivitis and sinusitis. She said to keep using my eye drops until the end of the weekend and keep well rested and see how things go.
It's been two weeks now since I've had this. I feel the eye drops have made somewhat of a differance. My eyes don't water anymore which is good and the itchiness has gone right down. I'm finding that I'm still a bit sensetive to lights from the TV and laptop, but this is not as bad as it first started. My eyes still are bloodshot though and the eyeball/eyelid feels very heavy. Everywhere from the top of my nose around my eyes and eyebrows and a bit of my forhead feel quite heavy and a bit light headed and fuzzy. I have not been sick once though and I've had no headaches at all. Only a tiny bit of discomfort around my eyes and head at times.
I've been needing to blow my nose a lot (no mucus though) and I've continued to sneeze a fair bit and sometimes my temperture can change from hot to cold, but nothing drastic.
I do feel a little bit better since this first started, but not by a lot. I'm a litle worried. Something else I noticed is that when I apply my eyedrops now, my eyes don't sting anywhere near as much as they did at the beginning which is good.
Thanks 
Cammy
Hi Cammy. it seems that you're making progress but rather slowly. if you have a ''walk-in-centre'' near you, i'd pop in and see what the Doc says. i think you may need Chloramphenicol (antibiotic) eye drops. your current condition isn't serious or anything like that. it's just hanging on longer than it needs to be.
C
Hi Catherine. Thanks for re-assuring me!
I agree with you. The main problem at the moment seems to be the light-headniess and tightness around my forhead/cheeks/eyes.
But, I think you your right and I'll try and see the doctor next week. I'm going to try some steam and breathing it in to see if it may help the forhead tightness.
Thanks as always C.
Hi Cammy. yes the steam inhalations will certainly help the nasal/forehead congestion. if u can get a hold of any aromatherapy essential oils like: Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Peppermint or even Lavender. they all have antiseptic properties and will also help clear the sinuses. just add 3-4 drops to a basin of v. hot water, but be careful that you don't burn yourself.
i'm surprised that the Pharmacist hasn't given u the Chloramphenicol drops already. your immune system needs a bit of help presently.
some Vitamin C might also help, if u have any to hand.

Hi Catherine.
Just a little update:
I am feeling a little bit better and seemed to have improve a little bit. However, a lot of the symptoms are lingering around still which is annoying! 
My eyes are feeling better, but still remain a little tender/blurry/heavy. The bloodshot veins seem to be going away which is good. I'm still sensetive to laptop and TV light, but it's not as bad as it was. My head still feels a little tight, but this has also gone away a little bit.
I've decided to take this week off work to try and get myself sorted out. I'm noticing other symptoms now such as, hot-cold temperture, stiff neck and tiredness. I could have a flu virus or something, but in mild form, I have no idea.
I went to Boots the chemist today, and the pharmacist took a look at me. I mentioned Chloramphenicol drops, but she said I don't need these as I don't have an infection! 
She seemed to think it's viral conjunctivtis and cold/flu at the same time. She said to keep using my eye drops and she also gave me a dry eye spray to use as a combination treatment. I also purchased SUDAFED congestion and headache relief (MAX strength) which is suppose to great rid of head colds and congestion as well as give relief to fever, headches, cold symptoms etc. I'm going to use all these daily as instructed and just rest.
Thanks so much for your suggestions! I'm very sporty and have a good healthy, balanced diet so hopefully that can help. But, by the end of the week, if there is no further improvement, I will certainly be going to the doctors.
Cammy.
Hi Cammy. good to get your feedback & pleased to hear that you're improving albeit slowly. it's good that your diet is good as it'll support your immune response.
Cammy, i'm wondering re this stiff neck & hot/cold temperature??? how severe is the neck stiffness? and have u taken your temperature? did u tell the Pharmacist re the stiff neck & temperature? apologies for all the questions?
C
Hi Catherine. Thank you so much! I've also added a kiwi in to my morning smoothie as it's high in Vitamin C just to reinforce the intake of it.
Well, the stiff neck is actually so much better today. It's more like just a tired ache than a pain. I took my first does of SUDAFED last night, and it really seemd to improve my neck. I havent taken my temperture, but it seems to have settled down a lot today. Yeah, I told her about the other symptoms too. I think she thought I was been dramatic and just seemd to think I had a standard cold virus. 
Please don't appologize, thank you so much for your help!
Hi Cammy. v. plsd. to hear the neck stiffness etc is improving. it sounds like the common cold may have morphed into sinusitis. the sudafed & steam inhalations/decongestants should keep things flowing freely & prevent complications. however, if it doesn't clear up within the week, it's worth seeing a Doc. viral conjunctivitis should clear up spontaneously within 10-12 days.
keep us posted & look after yourself
C
Hey Catherine, thank you so much for your kind words! Yeah, it could be something like that I think. I agree, by next Monday, if things are still continuing, then I've got no option left but to visit the Doc. It's really hard to tell with my eyes to be honest! The itchiness and watery symptoms have completely gone more or less! But, they still feel a tiny bit sensetive to laptop and TV light, but it's not as bad as it was and I think it's because of the sinus in my head causing this? The redness and heavy feeling in my eyes could also be caused by this.
Thanks again! I'll let you know how it goes, hopefully I can bring some good news eventually! 
Cammy
Hey Catherine, just a quick update.
I am beginning to feel a little bit better, and the light sensetivity has almost gone! However, I'm still feeling quite tight/light-headed around my upper nose/forehead/eyes area. My eyes have got better, but there still a bit puffy and bloodshot. I have a feeling all this is caused by a sinus infection. It says it can last up to four weeks and I'm on day 23 of it. Do you think I should give it one more week or visit the GP? Thank you! I hope you're well
Hi cammy. if it's viral conjunctivitis as the Pharmacist says it is, it should clear up in 10-12 days. if it's acute sinusitis, then it should clear up within 3 weeks.ish it varies from person to person. it sounds as though it's getting better but slowly. the problem with sinusitis is that it can become 'chronic' which is a pain in the b*tt. i think, i'd go and see the GP if it hasn't got better within a month of it's commencement. i'm a believer in nipping things in the bud. what does your intuition say?
C
Hey Catherine, thanks for your reply! I agree with you. I've had the eye problems now for about three weeks, and I've had the sinusitis symptoms for just over two weeks.
It's really hard to say what it is, because the light sensetivity has cleared up a lot and my eyes do feel better. But, they do feel very heavy and a little puffy and there still a bit bloodshot. I have a feeling this is been caused by the sinusitis though?
On the plus side, I haven't felt sick at all and my appetite remains the same. There is still no mucus, just plain white stuff instead when I blow my nose. I also haven't had any headaches. I do feel more tired than normal though.
I'm terrible indecisive haha! I'm thinking of trying to get hold of some Chloramphenicol eye drops and getting maybe another SUDAFED or Nurofen and trying those for a solid week and if they don't work, that'll mean i've had this for a month and go to the doctors the following week in half term.
Hi Cammy. it's difficult to know which problem is uppermost - the Conjunctivitis or the Sinusitis. personnaly, i'd just go to the Doctors. explain all the ''natural/self help'' things you have applied & tried & that it's not clearing up. explain that you don't want it to be a ''chronic'' problem. your Doc will understand that.
