    its the beginning stage of pink eye, i would go to ur nearest drug store, (cvs, walgreens) they have drops that is treatment for it, but the better result ones are the prescription ones from ur doctor, thats if u have insurance there around 10 bucks.

    It sounds more like a sty... some drug stores carry topical solutions which can help relieve the pain. They are very painful and if you look at the point where most pain stems from on your eye- you may be able to see a hard white lump. Kind of like a pimple but in your eyelids... if there's one- it's more than likely a sty.

    Follow precautions when touching your eyes... and you might want to wash or sterilize anything you've touched with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Good luck at the Dr.'s!

    It sounds more like a sty to me. Pink eye does not usually have a bump. A sty is a bump. Pink eye is also usually not pain full. Your eyes themselves are red or pink, not the lids with pink eye.

    Source(s): have had pink eye many times
