A member asked:
If i have pink eye and now have fever how long does each last and how long am i contagious for ? ive started taking antibiotics for my 2 and half days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
pink eye itself is a virus and antibiotics given for this do not treat the condition. The correct treatment is palliative and i suggest to my patients to use artificial tears and take chicken soup. As for contagiousness, I would say for at least a week since this disease is from the cold virus. Get well soon.
