Pink eye as of yesterday
Well I went to the er yesterday night and I have pink eye. They gave me a steroid shot and a shot of benadryl and this super freakin expensive eye drops my insurance wouldn't cover hardly any because it's so expensive, Patanol is what it's called. But anyway how long before my eyes feel better. They're only red on the bottom of my eyes now, they were completely red but they throb they do not burn. Everytime I close my eyes or blink it feels as if someone is punching my eyeballs. Anyway, is there any home remedies to at least ease the pain? I'm confined to my home until tuesday no school, work or anything with it.
Answer:you could try putting an ice pack on them. reading your post made my eyes water! i had pink eye last year and it sucked but i don't think it was as bad as yours. i have never had to have a shot. but then i have never gone to the doctor for it. i work at a hospital so i can get prescriptions and stuff if i need them.
All you really had to do was buy this medicine called STYE they sell it at any drug store (info if there ever is a next time). I say 2 or 3 days and it will get better. Sometimes putting a warm washcloth over your eyes soothes the pain. Get some eye rest. Hope you feel better soon.
I don't know but go to the eye doctor and say you want something to ease the pain. Maybe he/she will prescribe anesthetic drops or something
