Happy Sunday everyone!
Anyone got any home treatments for pinkeye until I can get an doctor appt? I thought my allergies were acting up yesterday and making my eyes feel weird and leaking like sifts. Took an Alergra and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.
Awww...I've never had pink eye...but I have been dealing with infections in my eyelids recently...not sty's, but still not pleasant. You can use warm or hot compress... I do the hot compress twice a day...and scrub my eyes with soap as per my optometrist's instructions. Not fun, but better than the full blown infections. Here is what I found...
Home treatment for pinkeye will help reduce your pain and keep your eye free of drainage. If you wear contacts, remove them and wear glasses until your symptoms have gone away completely. Thoroughly clean your contacts and storage case.
Cold compresses or warm compresses (whichever feels best) can be used. If an allergy is the problem, a cool compress may feel better. If the pinkeye is caused by an infection, a warm, moist compress may soothe your eye and help reduce redness and swelling. Warm, moist compresses can spread infection from one eye to the other. Use a different compress for each eye, and use a clean compress for each application.
When cleaning your eye, wipe from the inside (next to the nose) toward the outside. Use a clean surface for each wipe so that drainage being cleaned away is not rubbed back across the eye. If tissues or wipes are used, make sure they are put in the trash and not allowed to sit around. If washcloths are used to clean the eye, put them in the laundry right away so that no one else picks them up or uses them. After wiping your eye, wash your hands to prevent the pinkeye from spreading.
I sure hope this helps.
and that you feel better soon!
