Conjunctivitis


Answers:

depends on the type of "pink eye".

viral pink eye...there is not "drop" that helps (although some offices advocate a 1 time betadine treatment...you have to do it a certain way, so dont do this yourself)

bacterial pink eye: antibiotics

inflammatory pink eye: steroids or no treatment

allergic pink eye: steroids or antihistamines...

you really need an eye doc`tor to help you sort this out
