Brief Answer:
If you are sure it is a pink eye it might get okay on its own dear

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question dear . A pink eye in 90% of cases is due to viral infection which will get okay in five days maximum. But still we prescribe patients with antibiotics eye drops to minimise any secondary infections and that will need a prescription dear. Hope my answer helps you . Regards
