Possible: If the discharge/pus recurs after cleaning your eyes and the whites of your eyes are red, that is pink eye/conjunctivitis.Some of the cases are bacterial but many are viral; both are contagious. If it recurs, I would recommend you contact your doctor to evaluate whether antibiotic eye drops are needed. You also could contact one of us on Prime via a video if you have that service for further help
