Suggest A Remedy For Crust In Irritated Eye With Red And Swollen Eyelids

I m a daycare provider and a couple months ago pink eye spread throughout my house. I also had it... Yesterday I woke up with the smallest amount of crust in my left eye. Last night both eyes were very irritated and tonight I can barely keep them open... both eyelids are super red and swollen. They itch and burn so bad! Along with these symptoms I ve got a little stuffy nose. I started taking pink eye drops yesterday and they don t seem to be helping?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having muco-purulant conjunctivitis producing these symptoms.
This infection is contagious and spread all members coming in contact with affected person.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Use of antibiotic eye drops with proper cleaning eyes and oral antibiotic medicine will cure your problem.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
