yellow gunk coming from the corner of my eye, conjunctivitis?

[PenelopePitstops]

woke up with yellow/green gunk glueing my eye shut

has continued weepeing all day

do i need to see someone? am curently washing with salt water

probably conjunctivitis. can buy antibiotic drops from any chemist (in the UK) the same that are usually prescribed. don't need to see a GP as long as your vision is not affected.

Not necessarily, do you have a cold?

If the sclera is red, then it's mostly conjunctivitis, if not then it might just be blocked ducts. You can get drops from the pharmacist, I'd go and ask them for advice. Give the GP a wide berth, you'll only pick up swine flu

have a sore throat and fevery cold thing

what is the scelera!?

the corner bit of my eye is very red compared to the other one. Was trying to avoid gp, getting an appointment is a nightmare!

and a lovely picture of conjunctivitis

oh, in previous message, I didn't mean to say 'mostly conjunctivitis', I meant most likely conjunctivis. Sorry

Hayfever used to do that to me.

thanks eveyone, went to the pharmacy and got optrex drops, seems to be getting better

if it's conjunctivitis, it's well contagious - the last attack went right round the family and back to DH for a second time!
