How Should Conjunctivitis With A Swollen Eyelid And Redness Be Treated?

I started with pink eye like symptoms on Thursday and was called in an antibiotic drop. I am an elementary school teacher and pink eye is going around. I ve had it before and didn t think much of it. I woke up Friday with a swollen upper eyelid, but read that was a symptom if pink eye. On Saturday, I woke to a very red eye and swollen eyelid. I went to a medcheck and was prescribed a stronger eye drop and was told it was a bad case if conjunctivas. As the weekend progressed my eyelid became very maroon in color and my eye very bloodshot. Today, my eye appears to be bruised, almost looking like a black eye. I went to the eye doctor today, and was referred to a specialist. Not sure what is going on!
