How do you know you have pink eye??

Question

well yesterday i was crying for a really long time and then my eye started to hurt whenever i blinked or closed my eyes,and today its really swollen.

could i have pink eye??

ive had it before,is it like chicken pox where you can only get it once??

Answer 1

Well it is possible. I have had pink eye  twice before. But crying does not  cause pink eye. Something probably got into it when you were crying or if you rubbed your eye.

Answer 2

Well. your eyes will get all puffy and red.

Also, you will have puss in your eyes and you can barely open them.

Hope this helped :)

My brother had pink eye.

Answer 3

Common symptoms of pinkeye are:

Eye redness (hyperemia).

Swollen, red eyelids.

More tearing than usual.

Feeling as if something is in the eye (foreign-body sensation or keratoconjunctivitis).

An itching or burning feeling.

Mild sensitivity to light (photophobia).

Drainage from the eye.

So I am guessing that you might have not to worry though it can be taken care of very easily...

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.

Cold compresses or warm compresses (whichever feels best) can be used. If an allergy is the problem, a cool compress may feel better.

Daily Eye Drops will work as wel that you can purchase fromyour nearby drug store.

Hope you feel better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conjunctivitis. You could have rubbed your eyes and some dirt got in them. It's contagious and you can get it many many times.You can go to the Doctor for a salve, or go to the drug store and pick something up. Put warm washcloth soaks on them in the meantime. Don't share anything like make-up or towels with anyone.

Answer 5

Conjunctivitis can be either viral or bacterial.  Go see your doctor and they will likely treat you with some kind of eye drops, maybe antibiotic if it's the bacterial type of infection.

Answer 6

Pink eye is viral 99% of the time.  Drops won't help it.  Only time will solve it.  Cold compresses help a little.

Almost no healthy adult will ever get a true bacterial conjunctivitis.  VERY rare.

Answer 7

no I doudt you have pink eye unless it is p***y and you can get  pink eye more than once.

Answer 8

Actually, you probably have allergy eye. Pink eye brings other symptoms like vomiting, fever, etc. Allergy eye is just eye symptoms. Go to your doctor for an eyedrop- Patanol is agood one because it works great and doesn't sting. Allergy eye is something that can happen multiple times.

Answer 9

usually when you have pink eye you wake up in the morning with goo and puss crusted around your eye. your eye will be pretty red like bloodshot. also it'll itch a lot, not hurt. and no pink eye is very contagious and spreads really fast. so if you have it try not to touch your other eye and wash your hands a lot to prevent your family or friends gettting it to.
