Pink Eye, Flare

[LaurenK]

Hi,

 

Anyone know if pink eye could cause a PANS flare? thanks

LaurenK,

 

Unless it's allergy induced, pink eye tends to be either a viral or bacterial infection. That being the case, it would not be surprising for it to induce a flare Personally, however, I have no experience of it.

My son had two bouts of pink eye last year, but surprisingly did not flare from it. Most other infections have set him off though.

 

The only advice I can give is to make sure you wash everything! Pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, etc. Once you get pink eye around, it is hard to get rid of. We went through 3 bouts of it in a row last year because as soon as the kids were better they'd go back to day care and get re-infected.
