when will my pink eye go away?

I'v had pink eye since last sunday morning, it sucks.

i woke up sunday, and monday morning with my eyes shut with that white stuff coming out of my eye.

Yesterday my mom bought me this antibiotic for pink eye, i've been using since yesterday morning.

it's actually really soothing, and that white stuff is pretty much gone now.

I'm assuming it's not contagious anymore, but when will the redness go away? i can't miss any school anymore. Will the rednesss be gone by tomorrow? or will it take longer?

    Take it for as long as it is prescribed to you. It should be cleared up in another day or two. Also, flushing the eye gently with comfortably warm water helps, and do not touch them. When giving yourself the drop make sure you have clean hands.

    Even if it's not completely gone in the next day or two, you should be able to go to school because you are no longer contagious.

    It usually take up to a week..my daughter had it and that how long they told her she had to stay home..because other kids can catch it so keep your fingers out of your eyes and take some tylenol..=)
