Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

Conjunctivitis (commonly called "pink eye" or "Madras eye"[1]) is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), most commonly due to an allergic reaction or an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial[2]). While this article relates generally to humans, animals such as canines (dogs) can experience this condition.

No Yes, they can. I've got it before yes,their is no dif. when it comes to pink eye even if your black or any other color

It won't take very long.
My mom's husband got pink eye. About Aout a week after, my mom had it.
My boyfriend came for one visit. 2 days later, he had it. I don't know how I managed not to get it.
You could know within a day or less. If you go to bed and wake up, you should know if you have it because your eye(s) that were affected would have all that nasty gunk on them, making them hard to open. That is a pretty sure sign of pink eye. They may hurt or itch and be bloodshot.

Actually believe it or not it does..it may cause irritation in the eye so it will be hard to sleep.But don't worry it's normal I have a pink eye right now and I'm having trouble sleeping. What is best is to wash your with nothing but water or splash it against the face, it should relax the irritation. Most times it itches or burns or may even water and extract puss. So after you wash your face, sleep on your back. It often helps because ur not sleeping on it or letting any type of Herman that may come

This would depend on the cause. If both the dog and human are allergic to a particular pollen or mold and were both exposed, they could both develop "pink eye" even though one did not give it to the other. If the dog has bacterial pink eye, it is possible for the bacteria to be transferred to a human and cause pink eye in that person as well. However, if the cause is viral, traumatic, foreign body or cancer, humans would not be at risk for zoonotic infection from the dog.

YES!!!! Viral and bacterial pinkeye are contagious and spread very easily. Since most pinkeye is caused by viruses for which there is usually no medical treatment, preventing its spread is important. Poor hand-washing is the main cause of the spread of pinkeye. Sharing an object, such as a washcloth or towel, with a person who has pinkeye can spread the infection. http://www.webmd.com/eye-health/tc/pinkeye-topic-overview

When i have had it , my doctor said about 2-3 days until the yellow stuff n ur eye is gone . Hope this helped

1 drop per affected eye every 3 hours

-Not from SNIFFLEMYFFINS As an old and accomplished farter, having never had pinkeye... and knowing many people who violate the no-farting ordinance far more often that I... and they have never had pinkeye either... I am forced to conclude, No. Farting cannot give you pinkeye.

But if you fart in bed, and pull the sheets over your wife's head, causing her to awaken in a fit of coughing and gagging, you won't get pinkeye -- you'll get a black eye. Don't do it, trust me.

Fluorometholone is a corticosteroid eye drop used to reduce inflammation in various eye conditions, but it is not typically the first-line treatment for pink eye (conjunctivitis), particularly if it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Using corticosteroids like fluorometholone in infectious conjunctivitis can worsen the infection or delay healing. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate treatment based on the specific cause of pink eye.

Eye infection is taken here as conjunctivitis, the most common of eye infections. You do not use penicillin locally like eye drops or ointment. This may favour the development of penicillin allergy, which can become a serious event later on.

Pink eye is also known as conjunctivitis and is swelling or infection of the membrane lining the eyelids. It is not generally known to be fatal although complications can arise from any infection.

Can definitely be used for pink eye. My daughter (7) had pink eye and was prescribed for her. cleared up infection in the first dose though we continued to take all of rhe medication.

1. allergic - treated with anti-allergy drops and cool wash-clothes 2. bacterial pink-ey - treated with antibacterial eye drops 3. viral - will last 7-10 days and there is no therapy except to 'grin and bear' it

A couple of days after you get the antibiotics. Just say pink eye....

Yes if you have pink eye you can go to school but it is recommended not to. It's not like you're going to rub eye to eye or something. Just when you do go, don't rub your eye and then touch something . It's grody.

take an egg and then just pour the white part of it into a bowl and then wisk it for 5 min. then keep it going wal you put it into a washcloth/towl and then put that on your eye and leave it their for about 4/5 min.

HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER!

No your eye does not have to be pink or red to have pink eye.

Pink eye is when your eye itches really bad, and when you keep your eye closed for a long period of time, it gets crusted shut (disgusting..). Well theres your answer, hope you don't have pink eye! Its not a fun thing to have, and don't itch it, that will only make it worse! Go to the doctors and they may give you something to treat the itching until the pink eye goes away.it's been proven you cannot give yourself pink eye.

"Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) is caused by an eye infection. There really is no specific virus or bacteria that is the culprit of conjunctivitis. It could also be caused by an allergy, which are not contagious unlike its counterpart caused by an infection.

If an individual were to pass gas on someone's pillow (without wearing any clothing), it is possible to spread fecal matter onto the pillow case and that matter could contain bacterial or viral organisms. Mind you, just cause you don't see the fecal matter, doesn't mean it is not there.

Now if you were to pass gas on someone's pillow while wearing pants and underwear odds are you will be fine.

Poor hygiene can also contribute to pinkeye. For example, if you don't wash your face and change your pillow case regularly (at least twice a week) you could possibly pick up something which could result in an infection of the eye."

You develop the symptoms of allergy due to repeated exposures to the agents, which causes allergy. With repeated exposures the immune system gives sudden and severe response to the allergens. So with time you get what is called as hypersensitivity. Some people becomes allergic to bee sting. They may get severe anaphylactic type response due to bee sting.

My children have had pink eye several times and if your eye is bleeding it sounds like more than pink eye! Are you sure you have not just scratched it to the point it is very raw? If that is not the case, I would see an eye doctor right away!Remember, pink eye is very contagious.Good luck!

You can get the pink eye by either getting the cold or just getting sick. The white part of the eye is very sensitive and will get sick any way it can. The bacteria of everything you touch and if you never wash your hands and touch you eye's you will eventually get a pinkeye in a day or two.

Yes, if your doctor prescribed it and it is an opthalmic ointment. The formula for topical E-mycin is different from opthalmic. You could damage eye using topical ointment on your eye. DON'T do it, please.
