Week 3 Forum

Have you ever had an ear infection or pinkeye (conjunctivitis)? Most of us have experience with common eye and ear conditions; babies, for example, contract ear infections fairly frequently. Describe a time when you had an ear or eye condition, or describe a time when you visited an eye or ear doctor. This may include a visit for an infection or any other purpose, such as dry eye, vision, or hearing deficiencies. If you haven’t had any personal experience, research an eye or ear condition from one of the acceptable sources (located in the assignments area in Blackboard) and in the WCU university library, then share what you have learned. Respond to the following:

What are/were the circumstances for seeking treatment?

How is/was it resolved (e.g., medication, hot/cold packs, other treatments)?

How does/did this affect daily life? For how long and in what way?

In your replies to peers, consider the following ideas for responses, but feel free to be creative and come up with your own ideas:

Ask any further questions you may have about the eye or ear condition that they will likely be able to answer.

Share any similar experiences you or someone you know may have had with eye or ear conditions.
