People disturbed after realising what yellow stuff in your eyes when you wake up actually is

In order to help ease the symptoms of conjunctivitis, the NHS recommends:

– Wash your eyelids with clean water. Boil the water and let it cool down, then gently wipe your eyelashes with a clean cotton wool pad to clean off crusts (1 piece for each eye).

– Hold a cold flannel on your eyes for a few minutes to cool them down.
