The common symptoms of conjunctivitis in children include red eyes, eye pain or foreign body sensation, increased eye secretion, decreased vision, etc., which are analyzed as follows.
1. Red eyes: there are many blood vessels on the surface of the conjunctiva, and inflammation will cause conjunctival vasodilatation, resulting in the symptom of red eyes.
2. Eye pain: inflammation will stimulate the body to secrete inflammatory factors, which will stimulate the nerves, resulting in eye pain or foreign body sensation.
3. Increased eye discharge: usually due to bacterial, viral and other pathogenic microorganisms infecting the eye resulting in increased inflammatory discharge.
