Is it a pink eye?

Question

About two days ago, after a nap, I woke up with my right eyelid swollen and hurting. I thought it was just regular swelling, because I get it once in a while; but this time it didn't go away after a day. So, I still have it, and I'm not sure if it's a "pink eye". + The swelling has increased a little, it tears, & hurts still. Should I get it checked by the doctor tomorrow? Or is there some other way to fix it, like ice or warm water? Thanks!

Answer 1

Go to an EYE doctor, please.  A regular doctor will most likely give you some unnecessary antibiotics because that's what they always do for red eyes.

Answer 2

i think you should check to see if you have any kind of a bump on the inside of your eye. if you do most likely it is a stye instead of pink eye. i remember i had 1 and i couldn't even blink my eye without feel a sharp pain.

Answer 3

you should for sure go to the doctor, especially if it's something other than pinkeye and gets worse. goodluck~

Answer 4

Sounds like it possible could be pink eye......if that's the cause you need to get some drops from the Dr. for it. Pink eye is very contagious be careful not to touch the infected eye and then the healthy eye.  Do go to the Dr.
