Looking for answer to how do you get rid of pink eye?

Three types: There are three different problems called "pink eye". Bacteria pink eye causes redness and pus in the eye all day. This needs antibiotics. Virus and allergy pink eyes look very similar- redness and possible drainage in the morning, but mostly tearing during the day. They will clear up on their own. Just keep the eyes clean with clear water and wash your hands well. Call doctor if getting worse.

Wait: This is a self limited viral disease. If the vision is decreased or you have pain or light sensitivity you may need treatment with steroid drops. An eye doctor evaluation is always indicated when you have an eye infection. Pink eye is contageous.

Time and treatement: Depends on cause, but with time it should go away if viral. If bacgterial, you may need antibiotic drops. If due to dry eyes, you may need to treat the dry eyes, start with an artificial tear one drop 4 times a day. If not resolving, or vision decreased, or pain, you should have an eye exam by eye md.
