What are the pink eye symptoms you or your baby suffer from. It depends of course on which type of conjunctivitis/ pink eye is haunting you. Every type has its specific symptoms. This list of possible symptoms might point you in a more specific direction as to which type you're dealing with
In viral pink eye the eye looks red/ pinkish with a watery discharge
This is a highly contagious type and usually goes away by itself in 7 to 10 days after the first symptoms appear. However this infection must be correctly detected and treated
Bacterial pink eye can cause moderate to heavy yellow or greenish discharge which affects both eyes
Your doctor also wants to make sure the infection didn't spread to areas where the symptoms did not yet show themselves
In both babies and adults pink eye can be caused by STD's like chlamydia or gonorrhea. This is a case of gonorrheal conjunctivitis
In adults conjunctivitis caused by chlamydia usually develops slowly. Most often there is no change in vision and no pain. Symptoms may include:
Both adults and newborn babies can get it; the newborns can attract it during birth. In a newborn baby the symptoms may be redness in the eye and watery discharge. This starts when the baby is five to seven days old
When you suspect you or your child have this pink eye type immediately contact your doctor

Giant Papillary Pink eye or Conjunctivitis is often accompanied by red bumps on the underside of the eyelids. This also affects both of the eyes
This is a common complication with people who wear contact lenses
Underlying diseases
When you suspect your returning bouts of conjunctivitis come from an underlying disease, contact your doctor
