How to get rid of red eyes from pink eye?

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is a common condition that leads to red and itchy eyes. If you’re prone to this uncomfortable ailment, you’re probably wondering how to get rid of the redness after the infection subsides. Fear not my friend! Let me walk you through some simple yet highly effective remedies for getting rid of those embarrassing bloodshot eyeballs!

Eye Drops: The Classic Remedy

The go-to solution for many people experiencing pink eye-related symptoms is over-the-counter eye drops (aka magic tears). These drops contain soothing ingredients like saline or artificial tears which help lubricate dry and sore eyes.

But here’s the kicker – these eye-drops aren’t just ideal for curing pink-eye related redness; they can be used by anyone looking to freshen up their tired peepers! So even if pink-eye isn’t causing your current state of bloodshot desert-like orbs, feel free to use them anyways! No one said nothin’ ’bout being extra cared-about

Be Mindful Of Your Health And Hygiene

It may seem obvious but sometimes we forget…err I know this MIGHT seemed obvious. Maintain good hygiene is important when dealing with conjunctivitis (duh!). Wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face unnecessarily because our fingers carry tonsa germs!, keep sharing items that come in contact with our mucous membranes minimal e.g towels ,pillows .Also take good care of yourself physically by considering things like diet and regular exercise routine where possible . What eats well looks well(my grandma loves saying that.)

Cool Compresses Work Wonders

If you don’t have access/can’t afford eyedrops(magic tear) , cool compresses offer another organic way relieve(red/itching)eyes—something that even our cave-people ancestors relied on! No wonder they had great eyesight despite the smoke signal communication. Simply soak a clean hand-towel in ice-cold water or put it in the fridge for several minutes, get it out and press gently against your closed eyelids (don’t forget to pat dry afterwards!). The cooling sensation will soothe inflammation while also assisting contract blood vessels.Therefore reducing redness.

Tea: Not Just For Drinking

Did you know that tea has medical benefits beyond being various people’s mood-soother ,skin-clearer or taste-bud tantalizer (well at least from my perspective)? Yes.You heard that right.Thank me later but regular black teas are especially effective at relieving pink eye symptoms like burning and itching because of tannic acid content.This oh-so-useful property helps reduce swelling(IRAE Action!). Nevermind green tea though-as much as we love all things health(y),its anti-inflammatory properties disappear with heat.So might wanna make a cupa’o’black now honey!

The best part is this – no need to throw away those used teabags just yet! Cool them down in your fridge before placing them over your eyes for about 10-15 minutes(please avoid freshly hot bags around delicate parts!) You’ll feel an almost instant relief after((ahh…blisss))

Over-The-Counter Antihistamines

You may think antihistamines only come-to-play when allergies take us by surprise.What most people don’t realize(covering my face here) is that using these handy little pills can be very beneficial when dealing with pink-eye(conjucivitis).Antihistamines decrease the immune response of human beings which both reduces itchiness and thus urge to touch-red eyes causing inflammation due too germs.In turn leading(if yas persistent I tell ya!!)to less swelling and redness.

Remember to take these medications as directed,(no taking an extra dose after one skip) and If you are uncertain of which kind to get, they are usually available under different brand names like Claritin (loratadine), Zyrtec (cetirizine), or Allegra (fexofenadine).How very official!

Keep Those Contact Lenses In Check

If you’re a contact lens wearer, using them while experiencing conjunctivitis might only worsen the situation! So It is suggested especially in the first few days of infection -or when your eyes start going RED(what did I tell ya about being extra cared-about!)– that you pack away those cute coloured/transparent lenses untill it’s safe. Our soft(love), moist(predators heaven)silicone wearables make a thriving habitat endowing bacteria best chance ever ;without us noticing-re’ducing chances of getting rid of germs working against our swollen eyes .You don’t wanna put yourself through more rounds Huh?

Eye Makeup May Need Be Benched For A While

Wearers-Yes this includes yáll who love cakes on eyeshadow before walking out feeling like Nicki Minaj’s sister !An idea maybe desirable to reclining chairs BUT …(strong tone with index finger pointing downwards)NO.Optics experts suggest abstaining from wearing eye-makeup altogether for at least 4 days post pathology confirmation.A little break(more real estate on face freed for other activities…yeeyhaww!), can facilitate early recovery process without needing another appointment….fingers-crossed!.Plus when next we’re allowed rock ‘em,you’ll come back with your dazzling red-free peepers!

As usual there’s no magic route per se but following aforementioned remedies wills serve as game-changers ,except silliness(which never seems t’amaze moi)-they work! Remember to apply them consistently and allow the remedies time to work, for optimal best results!
