Medicines are not usually used to treat viral pinkeye, so it is important to prevent the spread of the infection. Pinkeye caused by a herpes virus, which is rare, can be treated with an antiviral medicine. Home treatment of viral pinkeye symptoms can help you feel more comfortable while the infection goes away. * If the pinkeye is caused by bacteria, the person can usually return to day care, school, or work 24 hours after an antibiotic has been started if symptoms have improved.

Warm compresses and gently rinsing the (closed) eye with baby shampoo or a mild cleanser can also speed healing.Bacterial pink eye is less contagious and can be treated with antibiotic drops. People with bacterial pink eye can go back to work or school within 24 hours of beginning antibiotics and can expect the symptoms to clear up in a few days.The treatment for pink eye caused by smoke, allergies or chemicals depends on the agent causing the inflammation.What to do if you have pink eyeAfter going to the doctor, you should get plenty of rest and wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading the problem to others.

Don't share towels with anyone and toss out any eye makeup you were using when the infection started.Warm compresses or teabags (black or chamomile) are the most common home treatment for pink eye because they are soothing and can loosen the gunk draining from the afflicted eye.
