Question: Do I have pink eye(conjunctivitis)?
It all started this morning when I woke up and my bottom half of my eye was red and really itchy later my eye did not itch at all but is getting more red and the other one is getting red it had a weird crusty thing on it this morning.I also have a cold and a earache.what is it and how long will it last.

Answers:

There are three types of conjuctivitis. Bacterial, viral and allergic if you have a cold etc you probably have viral... it is still infectious and you should change your pillow sheets each morning and dont share face cloths etc it may not completley clear for 4-6 weeks.

The eye thing is defiantly pink eye. It will go away in about 2 days. For now you should stay indoors and rest.
