Question 1

i got pink eye on march 3rd but it has reduced in redness with some pentrexyl &eye drops but i woke up today there was crusting around it again ?

Accepted Answer

See Physician: Pink eye may require antibiotics usually drops. sine pink eye can be transferred eye to eye and is contagious, I recommend you seek medical attention. Less likely, there are other eye diseases that can look like pink eye and again can be diagnosed by an eye doctor. good luck

Question 2

currently on eye drops for pink eye. it went away but now i have redness just on the outside and inner corner. still taking the eye drops?

Accepted Answer

See eye doctor: Sometimes once the virus clears, the immune system still fights and you may need to see an eye doctor to look for infiltrates that may require steroid drops to clear.

Question 3

is it safe to take redness relief eye drops when you have pink eye?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Since most pinkeye is caused by adenoviral infection, the use of redness relied eye drops does not treat the underlying cause. While it likely does no harm and the lubrication may be comforting, caution should be taken not to touch your eye or lid with the dropper and potentially spread the infection to the other eye. Also, never share drops with anyone. The virus is very hardy and easy to spread!

Question 4

hi, the end of my left eye the inside is red could it be a stye or pink eye or a popped blood blesses? will the redness go away on its own? can i apply eye drops or a warm compass to help the redness go away?

Accepted Answer

: Warm compresses will help with relieving a sty.  If there is local broken blood vessel with bleeding on the white of the eye, this needs time to resolve.  If there is redness, oozing you may need antibiotic drops from your doctor.  Best to have this looked at by your doctor, someone who will be able to follow the results of any treatment.

Question 5

can i use eye drops to treat the redness from pink eye? i'm using an antibiotic cream from my doctor to cure my pink eye, but it doesn't treat the redness. is it safe to use visine or something similar to make my eyes less bloodshot?

Accepted Answer

During : During the course of response to an infection the eyes will become red from dilated blood vessels responding to the inciting agent.  Any use of drops to get rid of the red may at times irritate and burn the eye more on application and may have a contra-effect.  I recommend using less irritating preservative-free artificial tears such as refresh to help improve the redness.  This will be a slow but less irritating process.

Question 6

how to deal with a corneal ulcer i went to the outpatient clinic yesterday because i had pain in my eye, redness, and sensitivity to light.  thought perhaps pink eye but the doctor there told me it was small corneal ulcer.  he prescribed two eye drops, ci

Accepted Answer

Without : Without see the eye it is difficult to say.  If this was a "staph" ulcer---the zylet would be essential and that the steroid component of the drop assists in the treatment.

Question 7

i accidentally touched the tip of my antibiotic eye drops bottle to the corner of my eye. should i get a new bottle of eye drops? i have bacterial pink eye.

Accepted Answer

Conjunctivitis : The bottle has medication that treats the same infection that you have in the eye. You can wipe off the tip and continue to use the same bottle.

Question 8

Pink eye: Given your reported problems I strongly recommend that you have someone take you to the nearest Emergency facility as soon as possible.
The team will evaluate you carefully and may be able to get you under control. If not, the team will contact an appropriate specialist to get some more advice. The specialist may have you sent to him/her from the Emergency facility.
Hope all goes well- please keep

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction with topical eye drops and consumption of alcohol. Drink responsibly........

Question 10

i had gotten a cold of sorts, then pink eye in 1eye, followed by another sore throat. i figured the pink eye was viral but i used antiobiotic eye drops anyway. i used it & the pus had stopped in a few hours. does this mean it was probably bacterial?

Accepted Answer

: Bacterial conjunctivitis in rare in healthy adults, unless you are a contact lens user.  The pus that you see is normal mucus the eye makes to hold on to aqueous tears.  This is often seen in patients with dry eyes who do not drink sufficient fluids.
