I am not too on the "up and up" when it
coems to sicknesses and all, and I just
have a quick question.
Is it common to get pink eye right after
having the flu?

The viruses that cause pink eye are the
same ones that cause a runny nose, cough,
post-nasal drip and, occasionally
diarrhea. The bacteria that cause pink
eye is the same as those that cause ear
infections. As long as there are people
running around with stuffed-up noses and
scratchy throats, there will be others who
happen to get pink eye from it.
