What is the best treatment for pink eye?

Answer by  NGoodson (3395)

You can relieve some of the symptoms by putting a warm washcloth over the eye, however the infection needs to either go away on its own or you need antibiotics to get rid of it faster.

One of the best remedies I have heard for pink eye was putting honey in some boiling water, letting the water completely cool, and then use the mixture as an eye wash. 3:1 honey:water ratio. Be very careful, this is just advice. The best thing is to see a doctor.

If pink eye is suspected, only a physician can make the final diagnosis and prescribe the proper medication for it, while using warm compresses, and eye drops for comfort.

Buy an eyewash from a pharmacy. Make sure the children wash their hands and don't touch their eyes or they'll reinfect themselves. Use a separate towl for washing the face.

Home treatments include a cold wash cloth to open the eyes. Usually overnight the eyes will get stuck shut. Use some decongetant eye drops to give some relief to the eyes. But to be truthful, your kids have to go to the eye dr.
