Call PCP: You may wish to call your pcp. If he/she knows you, them may call in a medicaiton for you based on your phone conversation and their knowledge of you. Otherwise, you may have to go to the nearest er. N0 tc medicaions for "pink eye" that I am aware of. Moist warm compresses, warm showers, bathing & getting the head wet all may help. If the eyes are red, "goopy" and if there is fever, go to er.

Pink eye: The vast majority of pink eye gets better on its own. Use tears and warm soaks. Also be careful not to contaminate others.
