Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, this pink eye can even be due to some foreign particle or dust etc but if it can be early sign of allergic conjunctivitis which is inflammation of external layer of eye.

It usually resolves at it's own but supportive treatment with anti inflammatory drops or anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine for itching and other symptoms. Pouring cold water in the affected eye can also make you feel better.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
