What are some cures or reliefs for pinkeye?

Answer 1

Most pinkeye is viral, and will appear around the same time as a cold or flu. It usually requires no treatment and will go away on it's own, but it is uncomfortable and can be soothed with sterile eye drops. A compress with a warm wet cloth after waking will help release all of the built up "crust" that accumulates while you're asleep-which is what makes the eye seal shut.
Some pinkeye, on the other hand, is bacterial. Even this usually goes away on it's own. But if it occurs in a small child, or it lasts more than 7 days, there is a prescription eye drop (neomycin)that will cure it fairly quickly. It is not expensive, but it does require a doctor's presciption. There is no over the counter cure for pinkeye.

My mother treated our family for pink eye all the time, never a doctor was needed, so when my daughter and her friends came down with pink eye from sharing makeup, there parents went and spent money on prescribed medicine, and I used my moms recipe. My daughter was cured almost 2 wks before her friends. I still use it for my grand kids.
