  1. I suggest you to a doctor so they can give you medicine.


  2. Either medicated eye drops, or if you know someone who is breast feeding then you can use expressed milk as well.  

  3. I would suggest eye drops, resting the eyes (not too much computer use or bright lights) and a warm compress over the eyes to sooth them.

  4. Pink eye can be tough to get rid of.  It depends on the type of pink eye you have.  Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis, is very contagious. There is more than one type of pink eye, and how you treat it depends on the type. If it is bacterial you need antibiotic ointment or drops. There is no particular treatment for viral pink eye. If it is an allergy that is causing your difficulty you may need anti-inflammatory medication or antihistamines. Frequent hand washing is crucial to prevent spreading the virus or bacteria, depending on which type you have.   There is also something called CLARE, or contact lens induced acute red eye. Sleeping in contacts makes the eye more susceptible to inflammation/infection.
