hi there
thanks so much for the suggestion for trying the Simialson OTC med.
I have heard about the drops, but was hesitant to try them. As you know, trying to get an Appt with a MD can take up to 2 days. I can’t get into my Dr, until Weds. I think a
Urgent care is my next option for help. I will give these a try & hopefully get some relief soon!!
thnx & take care
it is best to be seen by a doctor, but Simialson makes pink eye relief eye drops, I have pink eye a lot, and they work sometimes, sometimes they work just enough to give me a little relief until I can see the doctor....but with any kind of eye problems its best to see a doctor..I am a walking testimony..I kept getting what I thought was pinkeye, so I kept being treated for pinkeye. When I would go to the doctor, instead of letting him examine me first and then give me a diagnosis, I walked in the office, told him I had pinkeye, he saw that my eye was red, and confirmed that I had pink eye. The last time I had "pink eye" my doctor was unavailable, and the doctor that saw me, gave me a proper examination, and found that it wasnt pink eye that I was experiencing, I had irisitis, which is inflammation of the iris. Since I have been treated for that, I havent had any more problems. I am sure in your case, it probably is pink eye, since you have been exposed to it, I had never been exposed to pink eye when I had all of my troubles.
so maybe try the pink eye relief drops....they will probably help you some, they are like $10
No it can't be Rxed with OTC. See you eye MD ophthalmologist for family MD.
Wash your hands often, don't touch eyes nose. Pink eye is less contagious than the common cold
