The affected eye will drain a lot or have a white or yellowish discharge. The symptoms may last a week or 10 days, maybe longer, but they sometimes go away without medical treatment.There are some simple steps you can take to feel better, no matter what’s causing your pinkeye.Soak a lint-free cloth in cool water.
Pinkeye caused by an allergy usually gets better after you limit contact with the allergen. Your doctor can give you tests to identify the problem. Allergic pinkeye isn’t contagious. You can go to work or school without worrying about giving it to someone else.Ask your doctor about medicines that might help. They can recommend over-the-counter or prescription drugs including:Anti-inflammatories such as decongestants or steroids-- which often looks like a pimple or red area on your eyelid -- or some other kind of inflammation.. If your eye isn’t better after you try home remedies for a few days, call your doctor.
