Tea bags and Benadryl will not rid your cat of conjunctivitis (a superficial bacterial infection). Have your cat seen by a veterinarian. They will do a Fluorescein stain to make sure the cornea (outer layer of the eye) has not been scratched or damaged. They may also gently flush the eye if concerned the foreign body-like a fox tail or grass--is still present. Topical ophthalmic mediation is used to treat conjunctivitis. Do not use medications for the skin or anywhere else--they need to be specifically for the eye.
Conjunctivitis is not contagious to you or other animals in the house.
If there is a lot of discharge you can use a cotton ball soaked in warm water to loosen and remove discharge.
