There is an over the counter medication for pink eye. It does not cure the condition, but it helps to alleviate some of the symptoms. It is called Similasan Healthy Relief Pink Eye Relief Eye Drops. Walgreens sells them. I would make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible. In the mean time, try not to touch your eyes unless you have to and if you do, wash your hands immediately or use hand sanitizer. Pink eye is extremely contageous. Once you are on antibiotics for this condition you should throw out any products you might use around your eyes ( mascara for example). Also change your pillowcase daily until you finish your antibiotics just to be on the safe side.
Pink eye is an infection. You should get antibiotics from a doctor.
No, you have to get an antibiotic. It is very contagious so please call your doctor. usually they will prescribe without an office visit for pink eye.
"that's how you get pick eye" from Knocked Up.
but really just use something like visine to help relieve the eye and use a wet warm hand towel to get the discharge out and let it take it's course.
I get this question about 5 times a week at my store. Unfortunately there is nothing, there are things that can relieve symptoms for a little while but you really have to see a doctor and get a script. To be honest its amazing how many people get it that nothing has gone OTC for it.
