What are the symptoms of pink eye?
597076
i would be the person to ask. i had it 4 times last summer. first, it feels like theres something in it, like sand or dirt. then it starts to water uncontrollably. then it gets red and it burns. light hurts it ALOT, umm... a cold or warm wash cloth helps. the only way to tell if it is pink eye is if when you go to sleep and wake up, you can hardly open your eye. it gets stuck closed. theres gooey stuff that comes out. if you have it, i recommend putting a towel on your pillow and changing the towel, wash EVERYTHING you touch, or you will get it multiple times like me. sheets, DONT USE MAKEUP OR CONTACTS, dont wear the same clothes twice, and ifyou use eye drops, dont use them ever again. believe me i am an expert at this.

It could be anything from conjunctivitis (pink eye) or it could be due to a foreign body irritating it. \n\nI'd recommend an eye wash as a first step to troubleshooting your condition.

Anti-biotics  are  for  bacterial  infections  NOT  viral.  There  are  no  cures  for  viral,  only  symptom  management.   Where  did  you  get  the  anti-biotics  ?     You  are  causing  yourself  other  problems  by  taking  them  when  you  don't  have  a  bacterial  infection.\nThe  eye  sounds  like  pink eye  and  if  so, you  should  just  be  home  and  avoiding  spreading  it  around  as  it  is  contagious.  Conjunctivitis  usually  clears  in  a  couple  of  weeks.

It is possible to get an eye infection, basically a cold in your eye. Go to a doctor, they will know just by looking at it.

Sorry, as much as we'd all like it, the only way to kick this icky "pink eye" is to use the ointment or drops. ERYTHROMYCIN OPHTH OINT 3.5 GM is the stuff we had to get the last bout at our house.  We asked our Dr. and checked out other sources and found that you gotta have the medicine!!  Good luck!

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

If it is itchy I would say allergies.  This definitely is the time of year for that.  However if it just hurts then you might have an infection or pink eye. For allergies I take claritin and it works great without making you tired.  Hope this helps!

Most cases of pink eye will resolve on their own within 4 weeks, BUT you will be very contagious during that entire time.  The best way to get rid of it (and minimize spread) is to see your eye doctor.  He/she can prescribe eye drops that will treat the infection and shorten the course of the disease.  If you refuse to see a doctor, make sure that you wash your hands often, use your own towels, and don't touch your eyes.  You can use cool compresses and refrigerated rewetting eyedrops for comfort, but they will do nothing to cure it.

No, it's probably either allergies or dry eye syndrome. Try over the counter eyedrops, if that doesn't work, see an opthamologist.

You need to go to an eye doctor.  Sleeping in your contact promotes infection.  Conjunctivitis or pink eye will cause photophobia.  You will need antibiotics.  Also sleeping in your contacts will promote calcium and other mineral build up.  This can also contribute to your photophobia.  I used to wear contacts.. I get conjunctivits several times and I get sick of it.  I went and had lasik laser surgery done and it was the best thing I have ever done.  It is somewhat pricey but, not as pricey as it used to be.  Plus, it pays for itself by me not having to buy contacts and cleaning supplies for the contacts and make appointments to see the eye doctor once or twice a year.  I definitely recommend doing it.  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

you could have conjunctivitis(pink eye). I would get it checked, conjunctivitis can become serious.\nI researched this on the web for myself. I actually have the plague. I wish I had conjunctivitis instead.
