Medication
Over-the-counter pain killers or allergy medications are also effective in reducing pinkeye symptoms. These medications are available to get in any pharmacies and can be used at home, following the instruction on the pack. Although, there are times it is not advisable to use these drugs without the guidance of a health care provider. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, paracetamol, aspirin, etc. relieve pain and inflammation. Allergy medications like antihistamine tablets and mast cell stabilizers also relieve pink eye symptoms if an allergy is a cause. [3]
