Re: Pink eye
Warm compresses. You can get a script for eurthomycin (sps?) if you do go to the doctor.
Feel better!

Re: Pink eye
I would go to the doctor - they'll give you eyedrops and it'll clear up pretty quickly after that. In the meantime it's highly contagious, so I don't know that I'd be trying to treat it myself.

Re: Pink eye
Go to the doctor..it's VERY contagious and you don't stop being contagious until about 3-4 days AFTER you start antibiotics. Don't touch your eye and wash your pillowcases everynight if it touches your eye. It's very easy to spead pink eye to your other eye. Hope you feel better soon
