There are actually a few different causes for pink eye: viral, allergic, and bacterial.
Viral pink eye is not treatable but usually goes away within a week or so.
Allergic pink eye is not contagious.
You can treat it with over-the-counter allergy medication or eye drops.
But, it will continue as long as you're in contact with the allergen.
Bacterial pink eye produces more mucus than the two other types.
For this type, you should see a doctor for prescription antibiotics.
You can also use lubricating eye-drops or a warm washcloth to reduce the symptoms.
