Experts say conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, typically resolves on its own within 8 to 10 days. They strongly recommended maintaining proper eye hygiene, including regular washing with clean water, protection from intense sunlight, and shielding from dust and dirt to reduce the risk of infection and aid in recovery.

Additionally, individuals with eye infections should ensure that their clothing and towels are kept separate from those of others to prevent potential transmission. Additional input from APP
