What Causes Pink And Swollen Eyes?

Yes thank you I was diagnosed with pink eye a very bad case of pink eye. My eye was swollen almost completely shut and looked like it had blood in it. At the time I also had a upper respiratory infection and was on antibiotics (Zz pack.) I also had a rash on my stomach and around the top of my thighs. Dr gave me Tobramycin that I was supposed to take a week. When it wasn t gone after a week I took it a few more days. It s now not red but still real swelled and still weeps every morning. As far as the rash after 2 weeks of taking over the counter medicated anti itch spray you can no longer see it but I m still itching. I change clothes twice a day. I wash and spray 3 times a day. I am becoming very frustrated. Could this combination of complications be something else all together and what could the possibility s be of why it isn t clearing up. Sorry so much
