Suggest Treatment For Pink-eye

I was diagnosed with pink-eye on Thursday and was told it was viral and should go away in a few days. It got better for a bit, but now it feels dry, is painful, is more red, and I have a grey ring around the bottom of the iris. I will go to a doctor tomorrow but I would like to know what is happening to my eye.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having viral conjunctivitis. The treatment for viral conjunctivitis is by use of antibiotic eye drops and decongestant eye drops.
Along with this precautions like avoiding close contact with others, use of separate of hand kerchiefs and towels are required to prevent spread of infection to others.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
