Pinkeye

I seem to have a case of Pinkeye. I know it is very contagious. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this clear up without going to a doctor and getting antibiotics? Do they have OTC remedies for this?

there are MANY MANY articles in the ARCHIVES. you are not the only one, however it would be nice if people would read the archives and then, once they had all their questions answered, let us know how things are going.

walt has NOT been well and can not spend every hour of every day answering every question that has already been asnwered 100's of times before.

so, search the archives.

TJ,

Listen to Wm.

Hot compresses will clear it up nearly as fast as antibiotic drops.

I have looked through the archives and did a site search. I came up with very very little information which is why I posted.

Don't worry about it. It is often the case that information is hard to find. We understand that many times it is not for lack of trying. Many of us have experienced difficulty in finding the information that is pertinent or useful to our particular situation due to many variables associated with searching the site.

I think that I know a place to get some information about treating this without medicine and I will be back with that shortly, if I am correct.

BTW, not all conjunctivitis is bacterial.
