What medication is for Viral Conjunctivitis treatment?

---

I went to the eye doctor today having had a red, swollen, sensitive eye all day yesterday. I was told by him that it is a viral infection and I was prescribed Besivance. I just read the box and it says it is for treating Bacterial conjunctivitis, says absolutely nothing about any viral treatment... Anyone able to shed some light before I call and ask them a series of questions again? Thanks.
there is no light to shed, they made a mistake in your prescription, and they need to fix it immediately, do not let them delay the prescription because of their mistake.  (+ info)

How can you tell if an illness is viral or bacterial?

---

My daughter is terribly ill, and I would like to know if her illness is viral or bacterial.

Symptoms: General Malaise
Acute Yellowish/greenish mucal dishcarge from nose
Fever
Productive Cough
Headaches
Sore throat
Loss of appetite

Thanks for any help you can give.
The start of a sore throat leads to much worse later on such as the flu, bronchitis, etc...

I have found this website that cures sore throats. I know because I just had one horribly painful sore throat 3 days ago and this worked so great I have to recommend it to everyone.

I read many pages of this site and through it developed a tea to cure sore throats and kill harmful bacteria and viruses.

This is my tea:
1 cup boiling hot water
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (very important!)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbp honey
1/2 lemon, squeezed
add a herbal tea bag for taste (Traditional Medicinals Tea is excellent)

I drank several cups throughout the day. I immediately noticed the difference with the first cup, but to kill the bacteria I continued making the tea on and off all day.

Today is day two and my sinuses are clear, the pain in my throat is gone and I feel 100 percent better.  (+ info)

When looking at the symptoms of a disease, how can a doctor determine whether it is bacterial or viral?

---

In other words, what is the difference between how viral infections and bacterial infections affect the body? How are the symptoms between the two types of diseases different? After a doctor learns what symptoms a patient has, what further tests or examinations would he/she run to determine whether the disease is bacterial or viral?
In some cases it can be tough. But there are several ways to try & sort it out. First, what is going around? If a virus is spreading through the area, epidemiology suggests it is a virus. Furthermore, viral infections tend to cause a wide range of symptoms due to the way the virus attacks the body--fever, muscle aches, headache, rash, joint aches, etc all at once highly suggest a virus. Bacterial infections tend to be more localized--pneumonia causes respiratory symptoms primarily--not joint pain too. A bacterial infection that has spread so much to cause a lot of symptoms (called "sepsis") has the person very very ill. Viruses are also much more common than bacterial infections. Often time its a educated guess (that's why MDs spend so much time in school--you have to know alot about everything to discard causative agents to make an educated guess). They can do more tests (a Complete blood count, or CBC, will show more lymphs in a viral infection & more ploys in a bacterial). There are also antibody tests to specific causes. However, many times, its too expensive & not worth all the time & effort to make a definitive diagnosis. If you are going to get better anyway in 5-7 days, most people would not want to spend $500 or more to find out EXACTLY what they had. That's why you are told to return if not better in x days or suddenly get worse. Then the testing can be better utilized to find a source. Some tests would be xrays (chest etc); a spinal fluid exam, blood tests like the CBC or antibody tests, blood, urine, sputum cultures for bacteria, viral cultures, bronchial washings of the airways for tests, TB testing, there are many tests and as they become negative, more exotic & rare things are tested for. You always start with the most obvious & proceed to the rare.  (+ info)

Why do you get cold shivers during a viral infection like bronchitis or flu?

---

I have come down with a chest infection and am in a warm room under a thick duvet yet I'm a shivering like a leaf with goose pimples. It feels like -5 in here. Yet I am sweating lots. Why do these symtomns occur with viral infections?
you feel cold when you body is building a fever, then you sweat when the fever breaks, it is a cycle that occurs as a result of infection.  (+ info)

Will a viral infection become a global impact in the future due to the human population?

---

Expect required in the field on the analysis of a viral infection spread worldwide.
Not really, but the more the population is, the chances of infection are high..  (+ info)

How long should a fever last with a viral infection?

---

My son has had a fever for almost three days now. We took him to the doc and he said it was probuably viral since they couldn't find anything else wrong with him (no ear infection, no strep). It's not the flu. How long should I let him have the fever before I go back?
Not long. Some may lead to chronic fart disorder. See your doctor for details.  (+ info)

How to get rid of frequent viral fever?

---

My husband falls sick in viral fever in every 3 to 4 months or sometime 4 to 5 months. Then after taking antibiotic medicines and the mediation given by doctor, he gets well in 5 days. For that we consulted doctors in so many standard well reputated hospitals in many cities. All kinds of test were performed. Nowhere anything wrong was found. Everytime doctor concluded it as viral fever. Can somebody tell me how to get rid of this problem.

How long should i stay for if I have viral pharyngitis?

---

I've had viral pharyngitis for 2 days now and I have a very important competition tomorrow. I have a slight fever and I wanted to know if I can take acetaminophen and be alright out of the house for a day. Also will I still be contagious?
Youd better rest, drink lots of fluids, and eat healthy food. Since it is a viral infection, antibiotics won't help. For your fever and throat pain, you may take Paracetamol 500mg tablet every 4 hours as often needed. Just make sure you won't exceed taking 4 tablets in a span of 24 hours. Hope this helps.  (+ info)
