Go to the Doctor: You already can tell you have pink eye. It is now time for the doctor to diagnose it so it can be treated.

Eye was super red and tender. Urgent car doc said saw something w/blue light and was on the fence about ER ASAP. But he gave drops for pink eye and RX for herpes. Was improving but 3 days out there's a new hard swelling under eye. What could this be?
