What's best for Pink eye?!
Question:
What's best for Pink eye?
I've got pink eye for the past two days, I'm not sure how i got it. I wear contacts and I'm guessing i got some sort of bacterial infection. It's not getting any better and it looks like my right eye is starting to develop some redness also. Have any of you had pink eye? Know how to treat it? It sorta itches once in a while, and I got like this major headache. Anybody can help me out here?
Answers:
Pink eye is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane lining the eyelid and part of the eyeball. It is the most common type of eye infection and is most likely to affect preschool-age children. Pink eye is also known as conjunctivitis.
Bacterial and viral infections are often the cause of pink eye. People may become infected after coming into contact with the tears or discharges from the eyes of an infected person. People with pink eye who also have an upper respiratory infection can spread the illness through droplets that are disseminated when coughing or sneezing.
There's information on prevention and treatment below. Feel better, along with some pics!!
