Can Conjunctivitis In Mother Affect The Foetus?

hi i'm 14 weeks pregnant and got infected with a conjunctivitis and a really bad viral cold from my 17 mnt old son. He got it from day care. Two days ago I went to the urgent care but since i'm expecting they did not give me anything, and today I have a pink anything I can do? Also, will this bacterial infection somehow have a somekind of negative impact on my unborn child?

There is no chance of foetus getting your infection. After birth the child should not be in cotact with your eye or your linen. For your infection , you should be treated with Ofloxacin .3% eye drop 4hourly. Clean your face and eye with sterile swab.
