I am 99% sure i have pink eye. with no time or access to a doctor, what is the best eye drops or cream to get over the counter?

Tears : Pink eye typically refers to viral conjunctivitis. It usually affects both eyes and because it is due to a virus, is treated symptomatically with otc preservative-free artificial tears. Problem is that this cannot be self- diagnosed. There are many causes of a red eye, some of which can be quite serious. You need to see an eye md for diagnosis and treatment.

Good morning. I have had a re-occurring jock itch for almost a year now. I have tried all kinds of over the counter cream but nothing will clear it up. It is only on my right side. It does not get raw or anything but it has become an issue. Is there anything I can be prescribed for this without having to go into a doctor's office? Itching for almost a year?
