Here are some home remedies for conjunctivitis or red and sore eyes.

Pink eye is a common childhood ailment.  Here are some pink eye remedies.   It is important to treat this right away so that the condition does not worsen.

A simple pink eye remedy is using chamomile.

Simple place cool, moist chamomile tea bag on each closed eye for about 10 minutes.  Repeat this every couple hours.  You can buy these tea bags at any supermarket.  Make sure chamomile is the only ingredient.

You can also simply make the tea (a little stonger), and then use an eye cup to hold the luke warm tea in each eye. You can get an eye cup at most pharmacies.

You can also just wash the eyes out with the tea, make a compress with a cloth, or even soak a cotton ball in the tea and wipe the eyes every so often.

While treating pink eye topically, you certainly want to treat your child (or you) internally.

Other pink eye remedies include :

• You can also use Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis). Infuse a teaspoon of the herb in a cup of hot water.  Allow to cool, strain.  Put the tea in an eye cup (available at pharmacies) and use it in the recommended way.
• You can wash the eye using 1 cup of boiled and cooled water.  Add 5 drops of Eyebright tincture.  Use a cotton ball.  Never use straight tincture in an eye.
