Okay. I'm into LOTS of alternative medicine things. read about some kids who get pink eye. We've only had this a few times, but here is a "home remedy" that has worked every time with no pain.
Ready for this...... ;D
You squirt each eye with breastmilk. I kid you not!
(Now one time when it was an older boy who got it, I expressed some milk and then squirted it in his eye- not direct from the breast!)
I'm not sure why this works, but it has for us. I do it several times a day until it clears up. (Plus of course trying to take normal precautions to prevent its spread to other family members.) And whenever we've had pinkeye I've been breastfeeding someone, so fresh breastmilk was readily available.
No cost, nor harm...
You may be looked at a bit odd if you some day ask some mom for a bit of her breastmilk if you need it but hey....
Yours in Christ,
Kathy
