She's being a trooper, bless her, despite looking like she's been up all night crying over being dumped by her boyfriend

Yes, the GP said to wipe with cooled boiled water and cotton wool, and yes, the ointment is like a clear gel. She woke up at 7:30 this morning, which is early for her, so I cleaned her eyes and put the stuff on, then told her she needed to keep her eyes shut for it to work. Next thing I know, it's 10:30am. Hurrah for conjunctivitis!!!
The disgusting snot-like gunk seems to have cleared up, so whatever that stuff is, it appears to be doing the trick. Now it's just the watering and the pinkness. I don't really mind her not going to nursery and spreading it back around, as I'm not working. Also, nursery didn't tell me she couldn't go, the GP did. They probably would have been fine with it.
