What can I do about pink eye?


Question:
I'm pretty sure I have pink eye. I looked it up online and I have all the symptoms. I called my doctor and I scheduled an appointment in the morning. But my eye is KILLING me! I'm not sure if I can make it through the night it hurts so bad!
Is there anything I can do to ease the pain??
thanks!

Answers:
Nope, not much you can do without the doctors prescription, and even then it'll hurt for a few days.
Just be careful as it's very contagious, and if you have it one eye only, please be careful not to infect the other eye, don't touch.
An ophthalmologist is what you should see.
Pink eye is better known as "conjunctivitis" and more information can be found here:

Use some eyedrops.
you need to be on antibiotics
Take ibuprofen if you are not allergic to it and use ice packs. I usually put ice in a ziploc bag and wrap it in a small towel. keep the ice on as long as you can. Rest a little. Then ice it again. Keep doing that until you fall asleep. You will get some antibiotic drops tomorrow that will help very quickly. Good luck.
