6. When To Consult A Doctor

While true symptoms of conjunctivitis last for around a week to around 10 days or more, even after you have treated it as best as you can but symptoms still persist, be sure to consult a doctor. While it could truly still be pink eye, or possibly an allergic reaction to something, it can also be something else like a stye or even some sort of inflammation or damage to the eye. If problems arise quickly even within the first few days of trying out these home remedies, or if your case seems to worsen, especially if coupled with other issues like fever or loss of vision, be sure to seek out medical immediately.
