A great home remedy for treating conjunctivitis and facilitating healing is Pariri tea, as it contains properties that help relieve redness, relieving pain, itching and pain in the eye, and facilitating the healing process.
However, home treatment can also be done only with wet compresses in cold water or in carrot juice, as they have similar action to pariri tea.
These home treatments should not replace the use of medicines when prescribed by the ophthalmologist. So, in case you have not yet consulted a doctor, it is important to go in for an appointment if the problem does not improve after 2 days.
