I have a sore throat, pink eye and green snot and the coughs for a long time but it all seems to be getting better(someone gave me antibacterial pink eye drops). Should I go to the doctor?

Wait a bit.

go if you still feel bad in 48 hours

Self diagnosis isn't always the best idea. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Although it doesn't seem horrible, I'd see the doctor just to be safe.

Hope you feel better. :)

How long's a long time?
If you think it's getting better, then I'd see if it did get better.
If it lasts for a while longer, I'd go to the GP.

Put wings to your feet and go at once. You have an infection, possibly a serious one, and you are making it worse mucking about with those drops.

You can't always self diagnose yourself, I suggest going.

take some ibuprofen for 3 days and get some drops for conjunctivitis eyes. if it doesn't get better by day 4 see a doctor.

The pink eye needs medical attention. Go.

Ahh...

Well, I'd see if it went in a couple of days. If it doesn't, then I'd go.
