Probably pink eye or a stye and you do need to see a Dr. Pink eye can spread and be quite serious, but with quick treatment is usually not a big problem.
Go to the Dr--some will even give the script over the phone for this, use the meds. Wash your pillow case and wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading the infection. Stay out of bright light and do a little rest.
If it's a stye, there is an ointment available over the counter. Warm compresses will help.
Good luck sweetie, don't mess with your health and especially not with your vision.

If it is swollen from an infection you need to see a doctor. It could be anything from pink eye to you have somthing in it. Try a warm cloth on your eye in the meantime. Good luck.

Please go to an eye doctor. If it's an infection, it could damage your eyesight. Trust me, having had two eye surgeries that have left me legally blind in one eye - your sight is not something to fool around with.
If you think you can't afford an eye doctor, call the local Lions Club in your area and ask when their eye mobile will be doing exams. In the meantime, get to an emergency or urgent care clinic. Save your sight! Without it, you will have to be dependent on others far more than you'd ever want to. Good luck.

If you have pink eye or conjunctivitis then you need some eye drops. See the school nurse. Or, the tannin from a cool tea bag will help with the redness. Place the cool tea bag over your eye for 10 minutes.

You should not go to school until you see your doctor. It could be pink eye. At any rate whatever type of infection it should be treated. You only have 2 and we need them both.

You need to see your doctor if its infected or your mom thinks it is. Some infection are contagious and some can spread to you other eye. In the mean time keep you hand away from your eye and when you do bother it wash your hands. Keep it as clean and dry as passable until you see your eye doctor.

Go to an optometrist. If it is an infection, they can give you medication. If it is something else, they can advise you on how to treat it at home.
Don't take chanced with your eyes. It probably won't go away by itself. We see alot of people that let foreign objects and infections go untreated then it flares up into something worse. Go get checked.

You can't go to school. You have PINK EYE and you need to go to the doctor. Don't touch your eyes! It will spread.
