Adenoviruses are the type of virus that are most commonly responsible for the infection. Viral pink eye symptoms are usually associated with more of a watery discharge that is not green or yellow in color. Often, viral "cold-like" symptoms, such as sinus congestion and runny nose, are also present. The eyelids may be swollen. Sometimes looking at bright lights is painful.<br /> <br />While viral pink eye may not require an antibiotic, those affected should see a doctor, as occasionally this form of pink eye can be associated with infection of the cornea (the clear portion of the front of the eyeball). This infection must be correctly detected and treated. Viral pink eye is highly contagious. The symptoms of viral pink eye can last one to two weeks. Symptoms are pronounced for the first three to five days after symptoms appear, with slow resolution over the following one to two weeks.Linda Lou Rogers Averitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922242195015364432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-6959064627535899422011-06-07T23:05:03.028-05:002011-06-07T23:05:03.028-05:00I for one do think it can be caused by stress and ...I for one do think it can be caused by stress and fatigue, so the only way to know for sure, is take some time off, let your eyes rest:) lets see what happens:) now if you can not do that, which you probably can not:( then call Ann's health food on Hwy 107 and ask her what you can do to get rid of it, bet she knows:)) but a vacation sounds good to me!Linda Lou Rogers Averitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922242195015364432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-45995074988494887632011-06-06T20:21:02.853-05:002011-06-06T20:21:02.853-05:00So glad I'm not the only one.

I like the Hyland homeopathic pinkeye medicine. If I feel it coming on I use it and it goes away quickly. Also rubbing alcohol to clean doorknobs works great.Panamamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059282003527452424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-76077766026222034082011-06-05T06:34:58.313-05:002011-06-05T06:34:58.313-05:00I also agree that stress can be a trigger.

I have noticed when I am fatigued and depressed my body seems to be easily overwhelmed by colds, allergies, skin infections.Maybe this means you should be able to write off a relaxing spa day or cruise, you know ... for your health and especially the dreaded and ugly pink-eye!<br /><br />I hope you are on the mend and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed soon. You are needed in court because you give a **** about the important things in life.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-90967198288562711782011-06-04T23:12:06.997-05:002011-06-04T23:12:06.997-05:00I'm surprised the doctor didn't know that....I'm surprised the doctor didn't know that. I used to get pink eye often as a teen and the doctor would always ask me if I was under stress. He said like cold sores, pink eye seems to flare up in people under physical and/or mental stress.Cathyhttp://thefrazzledhomemaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-72237292639759988062011-06-04T20:44:19.575-05:002011-06-04T20:44:19.575-05:00Oh that's awful, C.

Gantrisin or something, but you're telling me that it won't work unless it's bacterial. I'd ask them to humor me. Let's just put it to the test. I do think you may have a point about the stress. I know that the cold sores flare up when I'm stressed.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-86799412586586882912011-06-04T20:28:08.902-05:002011-06-04T20:28:08.902-05:00That looks really painful!!

I hope it clears up soon, and find some good deals on new make up--I know how that adds up! :-)~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.com
