pink eye is very contagious. the only way to get "rid" of it is to see a doctor and get a prescription of antibiotic eye solution to put in the eye. It does help to gently wipe the area with a warm wash cloth when you wake of a morning to get rid of the goop and crust.

If you wear eye makeup you will need to throw it away because you have the germs in there. I'm not sure what to do about contacts though. It is extremely contagious too. Go to the doctor and they will give you some antibacterial drops. Wash hand well after rubbing the eyes or tears that may be shed through the burning. But don't wear anymore makeup until you get rid of it and make sure it is new makeup.
use cold cucumber placed on both eyes, to relax it.
See an Ophthalmologist. These home remedies may make the eye feel better but won't get rid of the cause of the infection which is either bacterial or viral. See a physician.
