We spoke on the telehealth visit about this.
I doubt that your son has HSV in his eye and I also doubt that you also have HSV in your eye.
And I think you need more than a visual diagnosis of your own case. But you know all of this from our conversation.

Hi Teri went to the ophthalmologist today for my son he doagonsed with conjunctivitis and gave him another drops he said there is discharge in the eyes and irritation as well. It’s been almost 1 and half months now with this issue I don’t know if this drops the opthamologist gave helps the infection. I searched on google conjunctivitis can also be caused by herpes virus . Just waiting to ge tot cleared really don’t know.as far as my diadgnosos for hsv the doctor prescribed my antiviral valtrex for same no blood test but visual diagnosis. Thanks for
The reply really co concerned about the child eyes.no solution as of yet

Herpes is quite obvious in the eye when evaluated by an eye doctor. They would have told you right away if they thought he had herpes of the eye.
