Pinkeye (Conjunctivitis)When to Call A DoctorCall your doctor if your eyes become red, watery and itchy, especially if there is a thick eye discharge that crusts on your eyelids. Call your doctor immediately if you have pain or swelling in your eyes, or if you develop blurred vision or a high fever or become sensitive to light. Call your doctor immediately whenever an infant, especially a newborn, shows symptoms of conjunctivitis. If you are taking antibiotics to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, call your doctor if your eye redness continues after three days.
