Dr. Andrea Kossler answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Viral conjunctivitis: You should see your eye doctor for an eye evaluation. He may have viral conjunctivitis or other eye infection that may need treatment. For now use artificial tears and cool compresses to eyes. Remind him to wash his hands frequently as it may be contagious.
