Conjunctivitis: This year, the rains during monsoon made the condition of many states, including Delhi, miserable. Severe floods occurred in many parts of North India. The water level of many rivers, including Yamuna, increased.
Also, many monsoon diseases have taken birth due to floods, one of which is ‘conjunctivitis’, which affects the eyes. These days this disease has wreaked havoc in Delhi-NCR. Many people face eye flu since it is an infection, so the risk of conjunctivitis increases in whoever comes in contact with the victim.
According to a TOI report, a doctor said that conjunctivitis is not a life-threatening infection anyway. However, it harms the eyes, so people should take it seriously. Conjunctivitis can last for 5-6 days. It is also known as a ‘pink eye’ infection.
Most people believe that this disease spreads through eye contact. While the doctor says that it neither spreads through the air nor does it spread through eye contact. Conjunctivitis affects someone when he uses things used by an infected person.
What Are The Symptoms Of This Disease?
The white part of the eyes of a person suffering from conjunctivitis becomes completely pink and red. There is itching and pain in the eyes. Water comes out continuously. Sometimes the vision becomes blurred. Eyes get swollen. This disease has no bad effect on eyesight, although you may see blurring for some time.
