pink eye or sinus infection? Posted: 02-09-08 08:41am


Last Saturday I woke up with some slight yellowish goop on my left eye and it was really bloodshot. I went to the walk-in clinic immediately. I had a low-grade fever, wasn't feeling all that great and the doctor just immediately said I had pink eye even though she didn't examine my eyes at all. I've been on drops for 7 days now and both my eyes are still pink. Maybe not as severe, but still obviously pink nonetheless. Throughout this week I've suffered from more nasal congestion than normal, but not a full-blown head cold, I've had some real bad headaches right behind my eyes, and right now my left eye/temple hurts and feels really strained. I've also suffered from some severe light sensitivity this week. The goop has stopped coming out of the eye. That stopped after one day on the drops. But I'm wondering if this isn't pink eye, but more a sinus problem? I haven't had any itchy eyes or dry eyes...the drops aren't relieving any redness.... What do you think? Should I get back in and see a doctor? The headaches are starting to bother me.
