What is the best way to get rid of pinkeye?

I haven't had to deal with pinkeye yet but I went onto webmd and looked it up and this is what is said
I hope that this helps with getting rid of the pinkeye. Also remember that pinkeye is contagious so try to keep your little one in doors and away from other little ones until it has healed.

Cold compresses or warm compresses (whichever feels best) can be used. If an allergy is the problem, a cool compress may feel better. If the pinkeye is caused by an infection, a warm, moist compress may soothe your eye and help reduce redness and swelling. Warm, moist compresses can spread infection from one eye to the other. Use a different compress for each eye, and use a clean compress for each application.
