I think I have pink eye. Part of my eye is pink and it itches. Does anyone know where to get medicine for this (in Shanghai)? Will it go away by it's self if I don't get eyedrops?
Thanks

If it's bacterial, it won't go away by itself. If it came on fairly suddenly (as opposed to just an irritated, long standing allergy type itch) it's probably bacterial. But it's very easy to diagnose and treat, any doctor can look at it and see what it is. You may even just be able to show your eye to a pharmacist and get the antibiotic drops over the counter. Don't delay in getting treatment -- one time a (very young) USA doctor misdiagnosed my child's pink eye as "allergies". By the time we got antibiotics for it, we had to treat every member of the household INCLUDING our two dogs!

Pink eye is very contagious and can only be treated with antibiotics. You need to see a doctor immediately. They don't sell over-the-counter remedies for this. If you are female and wear eye make-up, you will need to throw away all your eye make-up and buy new. I had a friend with this and she let it go so long that it took months to heal! Plus, I raised four children and this was a common problem when they were in school because it is so contagious.
