bad pink eye

[chelslouidd]

I have had pink eye for over a month now. I went to the doctor at urgent care and was prescribed eye drops, they said i had severe pink eye. Its only in my right eye. The pink eye is pretty much gone but i am left with a lazy eye and i have a pain that feels like its behind my eye. Not sure if it was really pink eye or if theres any other possible things it could be ?

That's good to hear you're getting better. You can also perform other home remedies like a warm or cold compress to soothe the eyes. And don't forget to wear proper eyewear when working with chemicals or when going outdoors.

I get them and the BEST thing to do is cut the edge of a potato, put flesh side over eye and let fluid run into it. Does NOT hurt ..in a day or 2 pink eyes totally gone..every time. Works fantastic. Cut a new piece to fit over eye every time 3 times a day.

Have you been to a follow check up for your pink eye? After you had been given eye drops, you should go back to your eye doctor to evaluate the effect of the treatment.

For now, avoid doing things that will cause eyestrain and fatigue. Avoid also using contact lenses.
