What can you do for a subconjunctival hemorrhage?
ANSWER
Usually, you don't need to do anything. It typically goes away by itself in a week or two.
You can use over-the-counter artificial tears if your eye is irritated.
Unless your doctor tells you to, don't take aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxyn, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications because they can increase bleeding.
