Pink Eye: Classically a "pink eye" is due to viral conjunctivitis: is very contagious with severe itchiness almost alwyas. If you do have true pink eye, the most natural way to treat it is cold ice packs for itchiness; cold tears in refrigerator helps also. If severe an eyemd can rx stronger drops. If discharge, use warm towel to clear it away. Any vision change, see eyemd.
