What Causes Blood Shot Eyes With Itching And Burning?

Hi, I think I might have pink eye. The condition stated yesterday with bloodshot eyes, the right more pronounced, with no pain or itching. Woke up this morning with some yellow buildup on the right eye that made it difficult to open the eye. Now both eyes itch and burn, the right one a lot. Started using a homepathic remedy called Similason Pink Eye Relief but it helps only for short periods.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having infective conjunctivitis. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
This usually takes 3-5 days for cure.

Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
