Conjunctivitis generally does not require injections. Treatment is based on the cause, primarily with local medication, and systemic medication is used only when necessary. During the acute phase, avoid bandaging the affected eye. First, using eye drops is the most basic way to administer treatment for conjunctivitis. Second, apply eye ointment, preferably before going to sleep. Third, rinse the conjunctival sac. Fourth, for severe conjunctivitis, such as gonococcal conjunctivitis, in addition to local treatment, systemic antibiotics are also necessary.
