It is better to discard any eye cosmetic products used during the condition (particularly mascara), changing the washcloth and towel regularly, and changing the pillow cover often to avoid recurrence of the disease.
Pink eye is generally not \serious; however, it annoys the sufferer a lot. There are many ways to treat such condition, here are some important points of treatment of pink eye:-
