I think it is allergic conjunctivitis, probably occurs as a result of exposure to allergens such as street dust , pollens. ,home dust .etc. Do you know about this.

Yes, it is conjunctivitis. It is highly contageous, so any wash cloths you use should be put in the washer as soon as possible. You can ease the discomfort by placing a hot wet wash cloth on the infected eye. Make it as hot as you can handle it. It will help. You will also probably need eye drop antibiotics. You can try the store bought ones for allergens first to see if it is just an allergy without infection. Usually though conjunctivitis involves an infection. Try not to itch, because you can spread it to the other eye. I hope you feel better soon.

Here are some tips: - Wash your hands frequently, and avoid touching or rubbing your eyes. Don't share washcloths, towels or pillowcases with anyone else, and wash these items after each use. Don't share eyedrops or cosmetics such as eyeliner, eye shadow or mascara. Replace them after you're healed, to avoid re-infection. It is unlikely that you'd spread pink eye just by kissing someone! But keep in mind that having your eyes close to someone else's increases the chance of your eye fluids coming into contact with their eyes and infecting them with the bacteria or virus that caused your own pink eye. Bye..
