pink eye

DH (8 months) and I had pink eye about 2 weeks ago.  I took him to the dr and he had an ear infection too, so he got antibiotics that treat both.  I was nervous about DD (2 1/2) getting the pink eye, so the dr gave me a prescription for DS, which I could use for DD in case she got it.

Now I appear to have pink eye again, my eye isn't gooey this time, but its red and irritated.  Does anyone know if I fill the prescription written for the baby, but ment for the 2 year old, can I use it?  Is kid's pink eye meds different from adults?

    Adult"s medication is stronger and used more often.  You can't use the kid"s version.

    If you are BF, you can use BM. Supposed to clear it up.
