Recurring pink eye
I got pink eye in my left eye 2 weeks ago. It cleared up fine after about 3 days, with the eye drops I was prescribed. However, this evening I noticed that my eye is red again. Could the pink eye be back, or could this be something else? P. S. I am also experiencing cold symptoms, which also happened the first time.
