Conjunctivitis

...CONJUNCTIVITIS...the non-medical term for PINK EYE!! Yes, I have pink eye, again, in both eyes! :( Sad day...I hate pink eye. I started getting it all the time when I started wearing contacts. Lame, I know! So, yes, pink eye...once again. I get to be miserable for a week. Lovely, I know. Any tips anyone could give me to relieve the burning and stop scratching my eyes would be most appreciated. All my doctor told me was to put the eye drops in every 2 hours...for 5 days. :)
