My 5 yr. old son's pediatrician prescribed the trimethoprim eye drops for pink eye. When my 3 year old daughter had it a few weels ago she had to see a different doctor because ours was out of town.....and that doctor prescribed the eye drops plus she put her on omnicef, taken orally. I know that was because my daughter's eyelids were also purple and swollen and she suspected a deeper infection. My son's eyelids are fine but he does have the pink eye in both eyes. Do you think the drops alone would be enough for him? Oh, and I am keeping him home from school today. How long are they contageous?
