…but just before I go and get my money’s worth out the NHS. Is there anything else I can do, other than remove me contact lenses and use eye drops?

Looks like Xmas ride will be done wearing me glasses…..grrrr!

Go to Out of Hours, not A&E

Ring 111

Phone 111.

The doctor for some drops if it’s that bad. Otherwise just boil up some water, let it cool and use it to clean your eyes.

My 2 year old’s just got it. The doc gave him drops just in case as it’s christmas and they’re shut for 4 days.

You’re probably just better off laying down in the road now so you can get a lift in an ambulance and fast-track the A&E queue.

A+E’s are on their knees in some parts of the country, I’m sure it’d be a lot quicker and easier if you went to out of hours surgery.

Cooled camomile tea soaked into cotton wool is very good. I would have thought your local chemist could sort eye drops for conjunctivitis.

As far as I know A&E stands for accident and emergency. I don’t think the fact that it ‘Looks like Xmas ride will be done wearing me glasses’ counts as either.

Can i have a whoosh parrot in aisle three please.

Walk in Centre.

Insert glasses up rectum and then call 999

To all the walk-in centre, non-emergency peeps, all i’m saying is that when Jamie dies through not going to A&E, I do not be wanting to hear any complaints about a lack of .gif posts on the forum.

tbh it’s probably the early onset of Pink Eye so there’s nothing anyone can do anyway 🙁

I do not be wanting to hear any complaints

You be from Cornwall then?

You can get chloramphenicol from a pharmacist with no prescription.

Been working on my accents. Thanks for the compliment.

Think we need that parrot in aisle 4, 6, 8 now.

Seriously, do not waste A&E time on that!! Last time I had it I managed to get Opticrom eyedrops from a Tesco with a pharmacy…..but any old pharmacy will do.

Might aswell leave the avery door ajar it’ll save running backwards and forwards.

You could try phoning the eye clinic at your nearest hospital.

What about my hangnail?

A+E right?

Must be a troll?

Please don’t waste A&E’s time Jamie. 🙁 I refuse to believe you could be that selfish.

Quite contagious, isn’t it? I’d be careful around your family over Christmas. I’d hope the drops/cream that I’ve had in the past doesn’t need a prescription and can be bought over the counter at a chemist?

(Spread like wildfire amongst the crew on one occasion when I was in the Merchant Navy in a past life.)

Do not feed the troll.

You can buy over the counter antibiotic eye drops from the pharmacy

Breast milk works really well too..

Do not feed the troll.

No trolling here.

Sorry, people. I honestly thought from the intro, it was obvious I wasn’t genuinely going to go A&E for conjunctivitis.

Although, after seeing the direction it went in, I did decide to let it run 8)

Anyway, just back from Tesco pharmacy with some eye drops.

Cheers for advice.

I was hoping you’d been squirted in the eyes with breast milk

Me too.Is disappoint.

It ruddy well hurts, actually!

Feels like I have bene punched in the eye 😡

…maybe I should go A&E.

I’m just back from the hospital, A & E reception was surprisingly quiet.

Try cooling it down with a lump of snow.

Conversely, it took me 20 minutes to get out of Tesco’s car park 😡

*looks out window*

Will have to do with a lump of wind.

Couldn’t see the EXIT signs? You want to get your conjunctivitis looked at 🙂

There’ll be something in a kitchen drawer. Dog ear drops sorted my ear ache out.

They were in an old box?

Let me know where your local hospital is…I’ll phone ahead and book an itu bed for you…

DrP

As you have done, pharmacist is the place to go
