Question : I believe that I have pink eye....my right eye is swollen, and weeps all the time. The eye is red and when I wake up in the morning it has crusts all around it. What can I do to help with this problem?

Brief Answer:
Could be pink eye, a photo of your eyes would confirm it

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

I need to have a photo of your eye before giving final conclusion. So please upload it in the reports section here..

From what you are describing, it could be pink eye(infected conjunctiva or only blepharitis-infected palpebrae).

Hygiene is very important:
- clean your eyes with warm water and baby shampoo(5 parts water, 1part shampoo)
- rinse thoroughly with water
- Rinse at the end with chamomile tea
- apply Tobramycin ointment locally(I think you might need prescription from your doctor)

Hope this helps.
