How do you get rid of a pink eye?

Here are some tips for getting rid of pink eye:

1. Wash your hands frequently. This is the most important thing you can do to prevent the spread of pink eye. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after touching your eyes or nose.

2. Avoid touching your eyes. Touching your eyes can spread the infection to the other eye or to other people.

3. Use cold compresses. Cold compresses can help to reduce swelling and pain. Apply a cold compress to your eye for 15-20 minutes several times a day.

4. Use artificial tears. Artificial tears can help to lubricate your eyes and relieve dryness. Use artificial tears several times a day as needed.

5. Take over-the-counter pain relievers. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help to relieve pain and fever.

6. See a doctor if your symptoms do not improve. If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if you have severe pain or vision changes, see a doctor. They may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments.

Here are some additional tips that may help to prevent pink eye:

* Avoid contact with people who have pink eye.

* Do not share eye makeup, brushes, or towels.

* Clean your contact lenses according to the directions of your eye doctor.

* Replace your mascara and eyeliner every 3-6 months.

* Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs if you have pink eye.
