My question to you that should be evaluated by an eye doctor is, "what type of pink eye do you have"? Pink eye, called conjunctivitis can be caused by bacteria, virus, or allergies and the treatment can vary for each one. Sometimes, a "pink eye" can be mistaken for a red eye which can be caused by a stye, a turned eyelash, a corneal scratch, or an internal eye problem, to list a few. I would strongly advise you to see your family doctor or an eye doctor in order to know exactly what is causing your eye problem/ pink eye problem. Good luck and best wishes.
