I had pink eye a month ago i called the hospital and they won't refill my eye drops what else can i do from home i don't have any left?

Usually viral: Pinkeye is often viral and doesn't require prescription eye drops. For the next 24 hours you could try an OTC allergy eye drop such as Naphcon-A. If there is still drainage, redness, swelling and it's getting worse then see an urgent care for evaluation.
