Answers:
While there are several different kinds of pink eye, almost every case of pink eye is viral pink eye, and there is no particular treatment for it. It will get better on its own within a week or so. Check with your pharmacist for over the counter eye drops for pink eye. You need to stop wearing your contacts until the symptoms disappear, and throw those contacts away and use new ones when you start wearing them again.

Hot compresses a few times a day will help. As strange as this may sound, steep a couple of tea bags (real tea, not green tea or herbal tea), and place the moist tea bags on your eyes. The tannic acid in the tea is soothing and will make you feel better and help with the swelling. Wash your hands very often and be careful when cleaning and treated the affected eye to not spread pink eye to your other eye.

If you have pink eye your eye should feel "gritty" like there is sand in it. It could also be "glued shut" when you wake up from the discharge in your eye. Pink eye is basically the inflammation of the conjunctive area in your eye (between the outer and second layers) because of an infection. That why it's also known as Conjunctivitis. If the eye drops you are taking are a prescription they should clear it up, if not you'll need to see your doctor. You can get medication from a regular physician or optometrist.Health Question & Answer
