Depends on whether it is bacterial or viral.Bacterial conjunctivitis will go off in 2 days with appropriate antibiotic treatment.Viral conjunctivitis may take upto two weeks.

Conjunctivitis goes off in 2 to 3 days, ofcourse it happened to me twice only. wash the eyes and put the drops and do not go out this was all told by my doctor earlier.
