I have pink eye, never had it & not sure where it came from. No kids and not around kids. From what I've read I'm not sure it makes sense to go to the dr; should I just wait it out? It doesn't itch and it's just one eye. Bleh.
If it really is PInk Eye, you have lots of crust and goop coming out of it than you definitley need some antibiotics. One tell-tale sign of PE is waking up with your eye glued shut with goo.
I would go to the doctor. I've even just called in once and was able to get drops without going to the doctor.
I had pink eye a couple of weeks ago. MD said it was a bacterial infection secondary to what was probably a sinus infection that my immune system took care of on it's own. I thought had two weeks of really bad allergies. He also said adults v. rarely get pink eye without some kind of underlying infection (usually sinus).
anyway, it was gross. I had discharge from my eye and though it didn't really itch, it felt like I had something in my eye. it went away quickly with an antibiotic.
Well thank you. I went to the dr and I actually have it both eyes; one is just worse than the other. No contacts for a week, ugh--not good for my exercise schedule.
