pink eye problems.

I have been having pink eye problems for 2 days and cant go in to see a doctor since the ofices arent open. Is there anything I can do to calm down the pink eye? Any over the counter medicines I can take?

Use artifical tears, warm compresses, use your own wash clothe and face towel, wash you hands a lot. If not better by Monday see an eye MD. If much much worse on Sunday go to ER

hi friend - i have it right now and it's annoying but thankfully not painful, eh?

eyedrops are good, also a cool clean washcloth pressed over your eye/s for several minutes at a time.

also read somewhere to change your pillow case and hand towels around the house daily

take care!

You may try using Optrex eye wash and see if it helps.
