Over the counter pink eye treatment?I think I have pink eye, but it's Saturday and I can't go to the doctor until Monday or Tuesday. Are there any good products that I can get at Walgreen's or CVS that I don't need a prescription for? I've never had it before, and I just want to know if I have to go to the doctor, or if I can cure it at home?

You need to go to the doctor. In the meantime, you can use artificial tears and a cold compress on the eye to help alleviate the symptoms......but that won't make it go away.
And try not to touch anyone.....we don't want a pink eye epidemic!!

I"m not sure, But I had pink eye and I had to get an eye drop from the doctor. I would go by and ask the pharmacist. Luckily I didn't pass pink eye on with anyone. Make sure you wash your hands often and do not touch your eye. Also don't share towels with anyone and change your pillow case nightly.

There are water based eye drops that can be bought without prescription. You can even ask the pharmacist for that.
However, eye drops have different effect on different people.
To some, it is healing but to some, they just make it worst.
I already experienced pink eyes twice. YOu know waht a I did both times?
I relax and sleep all day! I tried to rest my eyes. Moving and tiring your eye will worsen your pink eye. By resting the eyes, my pink eyes were gone in a day! Believe it or not. The next day my pink eyes were almost healed. I never take any medication.
This method works to me, it wont hurt if you try, right?

The best is to consult a doctor, if not you can use natural Rose water ( Gulab jal called in Hindi ) if you can get over there.
