Unfortunately there is no quick cure...
Pink eye - or conjunctivitis is caused by an infection, either bacterial, viral, or allergic. Viral conjunctivitis usually is associated with more tearing whereas bacterial often involves a mucous discharge - although these are not exclusive. Cold compresses can alleviate discomfort but seeing your eye doctor is important. Bacterial conjunctivitis can be treated with antibiotic drops. If the infection is viral it must run its course as with a common viral cold.

There aren't any OTC meds. for pink eye so....you need to go to the DR. The eye drops he gives you, if taken as directed, will make you not contagious within 24 hours.
Good luck and don't rub your eyes and wash your hands a lot.

Colloidal Silver will get rid of it the same day, use a low strength around 10 ppm and put one drop in each eye. I have seen this work wonders. It is a natural antibiotic.
You can get this from any vitamin store.

don't rub your eyes, use tissues, wash hands very often. check with pharmacist for possible OTC medicines, otherwise visit your local physician.
