How long is pink eye contagious for?

Today is day 3 that my 3yo DS has been on drops for pink eye. His eye isn't oozy anymore and looks perfectly normal. Is it still contagious?

it depends if it's viral or bacterial. i assume if he has drops, it's bacterial. in which case, it isn't contagious after about 24 hours of treatment as long as it's improving.

It's probably not contagious anymore. Once he's been on meds for 24 hours and it stops being oozy, it's generally not contagious.
