Q:

I came in the other day to get my eye checked out. The nurse told me that I have a minor case of pink eye, which I probably got from my family member who had it the week before. She said that if I keep washing my eye out that it should go away within a few days. I still have the problem and it hasn't really gotten worse or gotten better. Should I come in to get a prescription or should I give it a few more days? Thanks

 

A:

If it is lasting beyond 3-4 days, still is crusty, red and irritated, then eye drops would be reasonable. Call 650-3400 for a same day appointment with a provider.
