Hi,
Bacterial Pink Eye is highly contagious and is typically treated with antibiotic eye drops. It can spread to others as soon as symptoms appear, and it remains contagious for as long as symptoms remain, or for about 24 hours after starting a course of antibiotics. You may experience symptoms like mucus discharge, Ear infection, Pinkness or redness in the whites of the eyes.Signs and symptoms of pink eye usually improve within three to seven days. -
