Answer 1

It certainly sounds like you might have Pink Eye - which is very contagious and is easily treatable by a generic antibiotic. This does not strike me as a viral infection unless you already know that you have herpes of the eye.

Be very careful with the good eye because if it is pink eye you can easily put it in the uninfected eye. Drs can use a couple of different antibiotics for pink eye.
