Eye flu occurs when the outer layer of the eye, or conjunctiva, becomes inflamed. It can be caused by infections caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, or fungi. Allergies are common in hot, dusty, or erratic weather and can cause recurrent and chronic episodes of eye redness and irritation. It is important to identify the cause and avoid contact with the triggering agent. Children are more vulnerable and can catch infections from classrooms/ playgrounds etc. Often they may have a respiratory infection or allergy or fever along with eye symptoms.
