I have this dumb eye lash stuck under my eyelid and it's been there for about 4 days... It won't come out! It's making my eye super red and it's very irritating... It keeps me up at night... Eye drops don't work... I don't know what to do or how to get it out... Usually they come out on their own after a few minutes...

Can you see it when you pull your eyelid back? If that's the case, you can just use the tip of your pinky to ease it out- that's what I do.

try using a napkin to get it out by folding it to make a corner, then use the tip to get the eyelash out

Its happened to me...I would Get water and pinch ur eyelid open and pour the water onto where it is and it should wash itself out...thats what I did and it worked....dont do freezing water just room temp and pour it on slowly it should only take 2 seconds so try not to blink :P

The problem is, I can't see the eyelash, but I can feel something small under my eyelid everytime I blink or move my eye!

If you cannot see the eyelash, and you have flushed the eye with lots of water, then what you're feeling might not be the eyelash, but rather you've irritated or scratched the cornea. If, by the time you read this, it's still red and painful, you need to call the doc.
