| I don't think they come over the counter. Maybe you can call a Drug Store and ask. Hope she's feeling better soon.

| I've used polysporin eye drops from the pharmacy - although it's never good to mess with eye problems so I would recommend a trip to the doc.

| they have it. My DR told me to go get it last yr when I got it. Go to like Walmart or HEB (if you have a HEB there) or something like that. Look in the eye drop area. They should have it there. good Luck!! hope she gets to feeling better! |

| They do sell it for over the counter, but I think it's for catching it in the early stages. Pink eye is contagious and if she's been sick for a while already you don't want to mess around. I would get her some antibiotics.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Thanks I started her on an antibiotic that we had for her Acne a couple of years ago and the pharmacist told me that from what I was telling her that it wasn't pink eye but most likely a viral conjunctivitis due to her bad cold. She told me which drops to get and they helped her a lot. I also got her sudafed sinus so she is at least out of bed for awhile.

But I got the impression that you said she's been sick for awhile so it may be worth a trip to a doc. I mean no offense so please don't take this as such.
