From what information I could gather, most of the cases of pink eye are viral rather than bacterial.

In this instance, topical (eye drops) would be a better choice to oral medications in my opinion.

If however your pink eye is bacterial, then Sulfameth/tmp DS will work to treat the symptoms. You'd generally have to see your doctor though to test if it is caused by bacteria or not and make your decision based on his or her findings.

In the meantime it may be in your best interest to turn to natural home remedies to help with any irritation symptoms. Some of these options are listed below:

Warm water compresses helps in pink eye. The bugs that cause it are very sensitive to heat. Heat helps to increase of blood flow and loosen debris.

Wash your eyes with mixture made up of a pint of salt in boiled water cooled to room temperature. Wash your eyes with this solutions 4-5 times a day.

Do not touch your eyes as this could lead to further infections.

Chamomile tea bags are very helpful in case of pink eyes. Moist chamomile tea bags and place it over the closed eyes for 10 minutes if you want faster relief.

I hope this helps!
