Suggest Treatment For Pink Eye As Allergic To Sulfa Drugs

Hi I think I have pink eye, I had it once about a year ago (thanks to my pre-schoolers); I am allergic to sulfa and had a horrible reaction to the eye drops they gave me last time- what is safe treatment and what should I not use if I am allergic to sulfa?
