Slight discharge from one eye...

Could this just be irritation, or is it most likely to be conjunctivitus? Don''t want to rush up to the docs if it's just irritation. Also, does anyone know if a pharmacist could give me drops, or would it have to be a doc?

id go to pharmacist first as they are usually very good at diagnosing things like that specially if theres a lloyds one near u .

if your eye lids were or are stuck together could def be conjunctivitus and can spread very quickly to other eye , so b e best to get looked at .
easily treated with drops .

hope better soon .

Thank you choclab! The lids weren't stuck together - just a bit of yellow discharge and redness.

Can a pharmacist prescribe the drops?
