Will pink eye heal w/out drugs?

Question

i really cannot afford the prescription drops for my pink eye right now...will it heal itself cause if not i wont be eatin for a wk

Answer 1

No, it won't heal by itself. In fact, you could lose your eye if it is left untreated.

Answer 2

It depends on whats causing the pink eye. Three things can cause the pink eye. Allergens, Bacteria, and Viruses. If the pink eye is an allergic reaction then you only need antihistimine drops. They're not expensive and your can get them over-the-counter. Viral pink eye will (eventually) go away because your body will fight it on its own. Bacterial pink eye... REQUIRES antibiotic drops, which can only be prescribed by a doctor.

I've been there. It's one of my questions that I asked. You can look it up under my profile. A doctor can tell which one it is. Good luck.

Answer 3

Try to apply a warm compress several times a day. You should not fool around with pink eye. If you can't afford to visit a doctor, ask your pharmacist if there is any over the counter medication that will help.

Answer 4

Sure, we've all had it at one time or another, and it does go away. The best thing is to stay indoors--if you can't at least wear sunglasses. It is infectious, so try to stay away from others. You can use over-the-counter eye drops to feel better, and take some tylenol/advil, etc.

Answer 5

ya! it will probably take about 5 days to look normal!! good luck and feel better !! wipe it daily with warm water to get "gunk" off.

Answer 6

Yes, and its also good for filling nail holes in your walls..

No Kidding
