My eye is bloodshot red and burns?

Question

Last night my eye started irritating me (turned red, burning, irritated), so I took out my contacts thinking they were the problem, when the contacts are the issue, it usually clears up in 5-10 mins; last night it didnt clear up and obviously, the contacts are not the problem. So I just went to sleep hoping my eye would be fine when I woke up this morning. It is still bloodshot red and irritated, i dont think its pink eye cause it isnt crusty. Please help I have to go take pictures today and a bright red swollen will ruin everything!

I have one small piece of advice for you: Pay a visit to your ophthalmologist.

No offense, but no one here is going to be able to help you unless they can physically examine your eye. Instead of getting lame advice from people who don't even know how to diagnose an eye ailment ("Slap on a piece of raw meat" is NOT a good option), I'd suggest you get that eye checked. It'll most probably be an infection, especially since you wear contacts, so whatever he prescribes may help you fast enough to look decent for your pictures...

Take care! =D
