I got Pink eye today and it sucks. My eyes keeps burning and watering.

Hi,

I've had pink eye before and I know how itchy and uncomfortable it can be. The best thing to do is see a doc and have him or her prescribe eye drops to you. It should take care of the infection really quite quickly. Other than that, try not to strain your eyes too much or let them get too dried out.

Hope this helps,

You diffently need to see an EYE doctor for this some optometrist (like at Pearl Vision) can give you an Rx for the eye drops you will need to clear the infection or you can also go to a opthamalgist who is the doctor of the eye and they can give you an Rx. I don't suggest going to your reg. family doctor for this. Sometimes they write the wrong type of Rx for pink eye. That happend to me before!

To wipe the goop out of your eyes, use a wet cotton ball use one for one eye and toss it out and a new one for the other eye and toss that out. Wash your hands all the time and EVERY time you touch your eyes/face. At night time sleep with a new t-shirt or hand towel covering your pillow so the goop dosn't touch your pillow case. I say a "new" one each night because each night the goop will touch that t-shirt or towel and you need to make sure that it dosn't touch your eyes again.

Good luck to ya! Pink eye SUCKS - I know, I had it like 4 or 5 times in one year!

oh yes, I forgot.... if you wear contacts DO NOT wear them now. Toss them in the trash and don't put new ones in until the pink eye has cleared up 100% and the eye doc. gives his/her ok.
