A member asked:

Can someone tell me how to get rid of a eye infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is it bacterial ...: Viral. These two. Sometimes overlap in presentation. The best thing to do is contact an eye care professional that can determine if you have an infection and if so which antibiotic would be best.
