  Pinkeye is also called conjunctivitis that is redness and swelling of the conjunctiva, the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid and eye surface. Viral and bacterial pink eye are contagious and spread very easily. The symptom of viral pink eye include redness in the white of the eye, swelling of the eyelids, itching or burning feeling of the eyelids as well. At the same time, it would cause a lot of tears. It would be last 5 to 7 days and up to 3 weeks. And the symptom of bacterial pink eye is similar to the viral pink eye, but it would have mild pain. Bacterial pink eye lasts 7 to 10 days.
