could be simply conjunctivitis from a virus, (which is what a stye is ) but pink eye is a contagious bacterial infection, often seen in children. Sanitize your towels and washcloths in hot water, (with bleach is best), and avoid sharing them. Handwashing frequently is vital, and avoid itching or touching your eyes. Our family remedy is to make tea, and use the hot teabag covered by a clean damp cloth to make a compress to hold on your eye for 20 minutes or so twice a day while you drink your tea.

Might be a sty. Look at the top and bottom of your eyelid. If there is a bump on the inner portion of your eyelid, then it is a sty. Go to Walgreen's and talk to the pharmacist, they can recommend a medicine. I don't know the name because I've never had to use it.

When I got pink eye, it felt like I had something in it that wouldn't come out for several days before it even turned pink. But I think your entire eye would turn pink. It could be a stye, or even just a pimple under the skin around your eye, I knew someone who had that. I'd put a warm washcloth on it for 10-15 minutes and see if that helps.

Sounds like a sty but i agree with the others go to the doctor to be sure don't suffer longer than you have to and don't let it get serious

I'm not sure what a sty is, but my boyfriend had pink eye. His whole eye was bloodshot and looked kinda swolen. And he said it itched like crazy.

Pink eye also known as conjunctivitis can feel different. I had it once when I was pregnant and I had SOO much pain in my eye, it was horrible. Then I've had it after that where it felt scratchy - like something was in there. I guess it depends on the severity of the infection.

bypass see your wellbeing care professional or eye wellbeing care professional. ASAP! also do not contact them and communicate to something else without washing your palms. purple Eye is truly, VERY contagious. when you bypass to the wellbeing care professional and get meds., in simple terms remember to bathe something that your face has touched because you got here down with it. mattress sheets, pillowcase, wash textile and towel. Spray your settee, vehicle headrest with something that is antibacterial/antimicrobial. which will kill any type of bacteria that is on something that you've touched and could save from you or someone that you've are available contact with from getting it.

Porbably, that happened to me. If it doesn't clear up in a day / starts to drain this liquidy stuff, go to your doctor immeditely & get antibiotics. It will clear up in about a week.
