Medicines to ease pain and reduce fever can be bought over the counter. [9] For adenoviral conjunctivitis, a cold compress and lubricants may provide some relief of discomfort. [16] Steroid eye drops may be required if the cornea is involved. [16] Most adenovirus infections get better without any treatment. [9]
Symptoms of endophthalmitis include severe eye pain, vision loss, and intense redness of the conjunctiva. [1] Bacterial endophthalmitis more commonly presents with severe and sudden symptoms whereas fungal causes have a more insidious onset and severity, with 80% of ocular candidiasis (both chorioretinitis and endophthalmitis) being asymptomatic.
