As i said I have had a red eye for 3 weeks now. it started with both red, and for the past 2 weeks only one continued to be red. It itched the first week for maybe a day or two. And i had tonsilitis, but no sinus congestion.
Anyways. My eyes crusted up throughout the night and i had to use a warm cloth to get them to pull apart. My eye feels like i got punched in it, my lids are sensitive, and my actual eye ball also hurts, as if i have been awake for days. Or poked it. its not puffy,only in the morning when i first wake up. It goes from a light pink to a dark pink, sometimes red.
I thought it was my contacts, so i threw them away, washed out my case and didnt wear them for 2 days, but my eye stayed red.
It is sensitive to light, whenever light enters,my eye automatically closes and hurts, i blink consistently. It almost makes me feel sick.

What could it be? I dont have insurance, so i only want to go to the doctor if it could be something serious, and since it doesnt itch its not pink eye.
I just want it to go away.
