there are a few types of "pink eye" (conjunctivitis). when you also have a cough and congestion the pink eye may be caused by the same cold virus. bacterial conjunctivitis often has heavy purulent drainage; viruses not so much. both types are contagious so keep those hands washed. if prescribed eye (antibiotic) drops they should be used until the infection is goine.
does cough and congestion come with the pink eye? . my 2 yr. old grandson developed a pink eye just yesterday i was wondering what does pink eye comes with? i noticed just today that he's got dry cough and is congested is this normal? what else do we need to know about pink eye? how long does it last and how do we prevent it from contaminating others in the home?
