Breastmilk is a very good remedy. My doctor suggested I use it instead of the meicated drops. He said the antibodies in breastmilk kills the bacteria. I have used both on my kids and the breastmilk works faster.

I love the woman who tells everyone off for being stupid, then says she’s going to put baby shampoo in her kid’s eyes. Breastmilk is supposed to work, and maybe I’d try the salt water, but NOTHING ELSE. Some pinkeye needs antibiotics, even though I don’t like the overuse of them. But there are legitimate uses, and this is one.

Growing up in the Caribbean (Grenada to be exact), whenever we had pink eye (or ‘Red Eye’ as its called there), the quick and permanent fix was ALWAYS Young Coconut Water, organically grown of course, which was available all over the island until we had back-to-back hurricanes in 2005.

Take the young Coconut Water(directly) from the Nut, not some bottled swill, and gently rinse the eyes out a few times a day. This WORKS,and is non-irritable, but I am not sure if other types of more serious forms of Pink Eye will be alleviated by this treatment.
As for the other suggestions on here, I realize folks are trying to be helpful, but the gentleman suggesting URINE, you’re kidding me right.
I happened upon this thread because I currently have Pink Eye and decided to consult the inter webs before I bought coconut water and made a doctors appointment. I also have a cold and think the two might be related.

Ok, I am not gonna sit here and judge all the home remedies, but I do feel that I have to correct one thing that I have seen many people say. Until urine passes through the urethra, it is sterile. Once it touches the outside of the urethra, it is no longer sterile due to bacteria that lives on the outside genitalia. Salt is a dehydrator, so naturally it will kill bacteria, but make sure it is mixed properly, or it could cause more irritation from drying out your eyeball. Just be cautious when trying ANY home remedy, do your research and use your better judgment! ~ mother of 5 and a CMA ~

Okay listen people. I don’t know whats wrong with you but i think i have pink eye and this stuff sounds realy dumb. I’m a kid so i don’t know but i have latley had a cold and woke up with crusted closed eyes. Placing URINE in ur eyes is a stupid idea. I don’t care if the preseident himself told me to do i wouldnn’t. Whatever retard put pee in there eyes is a brainless pieace of crap. Bressmilk sounds good though.

I was brought up using warm salt water to clear gooey or any pink eye infection, it’s always worked fine. People shouldn’t judge or pick on another person’s tips or advice unless you have given that particular home remedy a try. Be fair, for goodness sake, why does everyone think they know it all. I have been reading up on the tips regarding baby shampoo, the PH level etc. and I may try that, we will see how it goes.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! I was in trauma about my pink eye, but reading this page had me cracking up!!! I love it! I am right now trying three of the tips- chamomile tea, drops of coffee, and salt water. So far, my eye looks a little better. I will let you all know how it goes.

I am doing the salt water every two hours, so in a half hour, I am on to my next 3 drops of saltwater. I actually am a stay at home mom and I just picked up my antibiotics but did not like the side effects since I am still nursing, so I would like to try the home remedies first. I tried the breast milk, but I didn’t see any results, so on to the coffee and saltwater…. TBC…

Also I used a QTIP and dabbed it with BIO OIL (also available in drug stores) and used it on my eye lids and under my eyes – it really helped with the soreness and crusting. BIO OIL is also good for wrinkles, fading scars and skin softening. Great product.

I just cleared up my really bad case of pink eye (in both my eyes- got it from my father-in-law… thanks Ken) I looked like an alien.
Went to my doctor who prescribed an antibiotic cream – started using it right away but didn’t see any results. Started using WITCH HAZEL – inexpensive and available at any drug store. I used an eye dropper and dropped about 5 drops into a tiny bowl and mixed it with warm to hot tap water. Put this mixture into your eyes at least 3-5 times a day and you will see results quickly.
I did this for 3 days and voila my pink eyes are now back to normal.
Seriously people, urine, vodka, lemon juice – these are your eyes!!
