Natural Treatment for Pink Eye in Kids

My 8 year old busted out with bilateral pinkeye. Now I have been a nurse for 12 years and over the years have come to the understanding that pharmaceuticals are not always the best choice. I mixed 1 tsp of pharmaceutical grade boric acid (its an otc) and and 8 ounces of boiled filtered water. cooled, poured in a sterilized blue glass dropper bottle and instilled 2 drops to each eye, four times a day for 7 to 10 days. Eyes all cleared up after 3 days, however continued treatment for 4 more days.

I would use Boric Acid for my kids when they were little and had pink eye. It was a remedy my Mother In Law told me about that she would use on her kids. It always worked. I would get it from the Pharmacist behind the counter. I don't know if you can still buy it or not.

I've used Boric Acid for all kinds of eye infections. It works faster than any other remedies. When my son was a baby and began to show signs of Pink Eye, I would immediately get out the Boric Acid. I would use about half a cup of warm water and one teaspoon of Boric Acid. Mix really well until the BA is dissolved, then dip a cotton ball squeezing only some of the mixture out (so it doesn't drip all over the place), then dab the infected eye at each corner. Do this two or three times using a clean cotton ball each time. My father is a doctor of Chinese medicine, Homeopathy, and acupuncture. This is a remedy he told me about when I was a teen almost a hundred years ago : ) Don't be afraid to do this to yourself or anyone else. It does not hurt, sting or burn the eyes what-so-ever. And trust me, this works better and faster than any anti-biotic your doctor can prescribe.
