flu is an eye condition in which the conjunctiva (the clear, moist, delicate membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inside surface of the eyelids) gets inflamed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conjunctiva helps shield and lubricate the surface of the eye. Its inflammation results in symptoms like itching, redness, watering, and a feeling of having something in the eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eye flu is often a non-serious condition and improves on its own in 1-2 weeks. Only in some cases is medical intervention required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Symptoms_of_Eye_Flu\"><\/span>What are the Symptoms of Eye Flu?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the <strong>common symptoms<\/strong> of eye flu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Symptom<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Explanation<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Redness<\/strong><\/td><td>The white part of the eye may turn red or pinkish<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Itching<\/strong><\/td><td>A common symptom, especially in allergic conjunctivitis.
