Stop rubbing it!. A cold or warm compress will do!. Lightly!. Hard to know without seeing it firsthand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most likely it is pink eye, but it could be something else!. Frequent hand washing is crucial to prevent spreading the virus or bacteria, depending on which type you have!. 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!.

probably a bug bite or a sty (most likely a sty)!.
A sty is a bacterial infection in a gland near your eyelid!. If it starts to look like a pimple, don't pop it!.!.!. not only will this be painful but can cause the bacteria to spread to other glands in your eye!. Sties are usually brought on by stress (due to reduced defenses of the body) so try to relax while it heals!.
Use a warm, wet, compress on your eye and that should help it feel better!. If it's still there after 2 days you should see a doctor, but for me they usually take about a week to heal!. Keep your hands clean as touching it can also spread the bacteria around!.
If it's a bug bite (say you don't feel any pain near your eyelid or tear duct) then I think an antihistamine medicine might help a little, but it will probably go down on its own within a couple days if you leave it alone!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

do you wear contacts!? if you do take them out, place the ice pack back on there and relax your eyes, wash it out with warm soapy water (tearfree soap)!. it could be a cause of dry eyes, especially if you woke up with the morning stuff on it and the lids were hard to open (shield shut)!.

ice is the best way to get swelling down!. wash it to get the germs away from your eyes!.

all the best!

if it gets any worse you'll need to see a doctor!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ughh!
I HATE THIS!.
It happened to me, it was because of my allergies!.
My eyes got real red and swollen and every time i would wake up they would be stuck together!.
My mom thought it was pink eye but when I went to the doctor they said it was because of my allergies!.
I solved my problem by taking allergy pills, and putting eye drops for allergy's 4 times a day!.
Hope I helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could possibly be allergies, but if it starts getting bloodshot, crusted shut, and has puss coming out of the corners, then it might be pink eye!. Try some sort of allergy medication, or go in to see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You might have pink eye!.
If you have a lot of crust in your eye when you wake up, and during the day then I def!. think it's pink eye!.
Don't touch/rub your eye!.
Go put some eyedrops in them and they will swell down a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Touch the most swollen, red spot!. If it hurts, it is probably a sty!. Otherwise it is a slight infection!. My understanding is that these go away quickly, but best to consult an expert!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

IT is most likely pink eye!.DON"T put ice on it though, that can freeze your eyeball and cause you to go blind or for it to fall out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
