Right eye lid swollen, I think it is pink eye. Can anyone give me information on how to deal with this, without going to the doctor, as I don't have the money to go to one. Your help will be very helpful.

you need an antibiotic eye ointment or drops. Benadryl will ease the itching but not take care of the infection. You need a very cheap drug called TERRAMYCIN eye ointment....very inexpensive and some smaller drugstores sell it without prescriptions. Go and talk to your pharmacist, she will most likely give you one. The faster the better because it is highly contagious, just by blinking your eyes ,you can spread it. If you cannot get that drug, use Refresh Liquigel.

Go to the drugstore and get some benadryl eye drops for pink eye, it is usually kept behind the counter so you have to ask for it!

You need antibiotics--without them you're highly contagious to others, even touching your eye, then the door handle will give it to someone if they touch their face after touching where you did.
You need to get the antibiotics,it'll get the pink eye under control in 3 days. (Someone at work just had it)

you need medication for it, and i dont think there is over the counter meds..so you should go to some sort of clinic that will take you...there are clinics for lower socio economic people...out there..
