First you need to make sure that you aren't using anything that's contaminated - this includes make up (throw it away), towels, sheets, and pillows (wash them).  The majority of cases of pink eye resolve on their own within 4 weeks (as long as you aren't re-infecting yourself).  If it lasts longer than that, you absolutely need to see your eye doctor to rule out other infectious and non-infectious causes.  You also should never self-medicate (especially with other people's prescriptions).  Even eye drops can cause serious side effects in certain people.

My 4 yr old daughter has a bit of a lazy eye, and surgery was an option for her, but we took her to an eye specialist and found out that glasses can also help correct it. I would contact an eye specialist, that deals with children that have lazy eyes, and or crossed eyes. Hope this has helped.

I have heard they are caused by dust on the lens or water.  However, my daughter can't seem to have a pic taken of her without either orbs or long thin white smokey ribbons all around her.  Even though she is only 22, I call her an old soul.  She is a sensitive, meaning she can sense and feel things others can't.  I am the same way.  I believe these may be spirits around her.

Go to the eye doctor and they will give you eye drops to use. It should be gone in a week or less.

Sounds like whatever was in your eye may have scratched it. I got a metal sliver in my eye at work once, and they had to "grind" it out. My eye was sore for a week!!

Try oatmeal soaks and calamine lotion & try to keep her from scrachring or rubbing it in her eyes, If it's really bad she may need a doctor

Not everyone gets it hun. You may be lucky and already be immune to it if you have been in close contact to someone who had it, eg a sibling. And it's not just young kids who get it... I had it aged 26!!

[  NOTE ]\n\nI would like to answer this question saying allergies or a bad thing on, Children are Grow-Ups.\n\nYou need to consult your family doctor your child's health advice should not come from the "Love & Friendship" section of Q&A.\n\nNow there is a "Health" section in Q&A with some highly trained RN's that may assist  you in some matters maybe.

Yes, I actually have one to share. Several years ago I went to LensCrafters to do my yearly checkup and get more lenses. For some reason I could not get the lens on and the doctor became really impatient with me. He tried to put it in but he kept poking my eye and for some odd reason it was like my body was revolting from his touch. I've never had this happen before. Well, he became very rude with me, I don't remember his exact words anymore, and if I saw him today I would not know him, but it was a horrible experience.\n\nLooking back I actually kind of feel sorry for him, because it was a no-win situation. I think if the shoe had of been on the other foot I would have been annoyed too, but I wouldn't of been rude to the customer (they are always right). The woman at the front desk had said he had been rude with other customers so I assume he probably was going through something personal.\n\nIt would be nice to know how your situation turns out though. Perhaps it is a growing trend at Lenscrafters.

My mother has this problem.  She didn't know how it happened.  Every night she has to put this ointment in her eye for it.  Been going thru this for over a year now.  I wish you the best and a speedy healing.

If you pull the bottom eyelid down, can you see a little spot? \nMy son suffers with them and so did I as a child. There are many old wives tales of how to rid them, but I found the best thing to do was to let it run it's course.\nSometimes they are only mild and only notice for a couple of days, but others can be very severe and almost close your eye with the swelling.\nThey do go down on thier own, and usually will weep overnight, causing your lids to be stuck together in the morning. The best way to handle this is to boil some water, put it in a glass, allow to cool then gently wipe with clean cotton wool. using a new peice for each wipe until your lid opens.\n\nAs long as you keep your eyes and hands clean and don't keep touching it, it will eventually heal.\n\nThere are some products on the market for eye infections, but I have found they can be very greasy as they have to withstand the water from your eyes, and they make you look like you have been crying. \n\nAvoid eye-makeup until it has completely healed, and if you use an eyeliner inside the lid, throw it away as it may contain germs which will spread the infection.\n\nGood luck!

you could have pink eye which makes it itch and watery the best think to do till you get to a doctor is put a warm wash cloth on it  but get to the doctor now !!!

you are right about inner ear infection, that is random. so is an eye infection, most pink/red eyes are viral too, but let your doctor see it at least, likely just a coincidence, good luck

I do also, have since childhood. An eye doctor told me that it is not all that uncommon. He had a word for it that I do not recall. Harmless, and somehow related to the eyes. Great news is, your children can expect to have it also.
