Pink eye, WHY WON'T IT GO AWAY!!?!


Question: Pink eye, WHY WON'T IT GO AWAY!!?
I'v had pink eye for about 9 days now, the first week my eye was swollen, not very red or itchy, i was prescribed an ointment to use for 7 days. after the first week and my infection persisted i went to the doctor again and got these drops to use. i've been on them for about 2 days now since Monday and my eyes are no longer swollen but their RED AND VERY ITCHY!

i've been using other of the counter drops to try and relieve some of the itch and redness.

when will this infection go away! the eye that got infected first is less red and itchy so i have some hope that i'll just have to wait till the other eye that got infected recently to get better.

any thought/comments are greatly appreciated.

Answers:

before you have the temptation to itch, wash your hand thoroughly so if you do scratch it, it may not get worse. Also, keep cleaning it, too.



Itch is typically associated with allergies. It is possible that the infection is gone and you are allergic to your drops.
