Answer 1

Hi THere

Probably a stye. The eye and the area around it is reacting to poor nutrition, allergies, and/or toxins in the blood. I had a friend of mine used an herbal concoction called eyebright (herbdoc.com) that took care of the issue with 7-10 days. It stings a bit, but it clears up the issue very quickly. I've used to it help clear up my vision as well.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

I have some advice.

See your optometrist, eye specialist or primary doctor. It might not be pink eye but your eye does sound infected. Don't wait it out or it could get worse. Your doctor may be able to give you some medicine.

Or you could have allergies to something. Did you recently get a pet? Or perhaps they are seasonal.
Hope this helps,

Unless you remember hurting your eye (by bumping into something for example), you should call for a doctor's appointment. Better to play it safe and take care of it early...
