How do i know if i have allergic pink eye or bacterial pink eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergic pink eye: Usually has less redness than pink eye from an infection. In addition, allergies almost always cause itching, which is not common with infection. In addition, bacterial pink eye causes thick drainage, while allergies cause tearing.
