I have pink eye and can't get to a docto
| Wed, 02-13-2008 - 7:57am |
Sorry I haven't been on lately but I have pink eye from who knows where and I am iced in so no doctor for me until maybe Thursday.
I have had it since Sunday morning. Anyone have a home remedy that I might be able to assemble with kitchen condiments? My eyes are hurting too much to be on line very much.
Wish me luck ladies.

Pink eye is NO fun, but try this until you can get to the doctor. It won't cure it, but it will make it more bearable until you can get some treatment.
HI Grams
I am sorry to hear you have pink eye. Seems Dutch and Char gave you some good home remedies to try. Hope that you can get to the Dr soon.!!
Love
Grams until you get to the dr's try placing warmed tea bags on your eyes. The tanin in the tea should help. As warm as you can possibly stand and do it often as in hourly depending on the severity of the infection.
Also, if you have garlic bulbs or powder or even onions they contain sulfonamides which fight infection. Garlic is best but if you only have onions eating them raw will produce the best results. It will help fight the infection. Hope this helps.
I remember using hot tea bags.I was waiting to see if some one was going to come up with that.
We used them on babies eyes when they get oozy.Done the same thing to kittens.
It just feels so good.
Oh one other thing related to your pink eye.Dont forget to sanitize the hard surfaces you've touched.Even door knobs.And wash your hands wash your hands.

HI Grams
Wow girl you did have a lot going on there. I am sorry to hear you fell but hope you are doing better now. Hope your eyes well be feeling much better now that you have gotten the medication for them.
Now stay away from those darn germs and be extra careful when you wrap up to stay warm.
Love ya
