Pink eye usually lasts seven to fourteen days. I would keep you child out of school an extra day after it is gone just to be safe.
Hope this helps.

Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are the only two causes that are contagious. They are spread by contact with the eye drainage or tears.
Bacterial is no longer contagious after 36 to 48 hours of antibiotic drops.
Viral has no treatment, except to relieve the symptoms. It can be contagious as long as the eyes are red.
Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious.

To be danger-free, no. the medication needs to be operating for twenty-four hours earlier they could bypass back to college. in case you all started treatment at midday on a Sunday, you may't enable them bypass to college till Tuesday.

its usually around a week......the infection is still active for several days after beginning antibiotics...and they eyes should no longer have any discharge and she should not be rubbing her eyes before you send her back to school....

Your school, through your local health nurse, will have guidelines for this. Contact the school office, if they don't know, contact the health nurse for your area.
