Definitely see an MD: Have her see a pediatrician asap. Eye infections in children are often bacterial and can be easily treated. In some cases there may be complications if not promptly treated as well. If a referral to a specialist is needed, the pediatrician will let you know.

Consider this but...: Conjunctivitis is often self-limited. It is often viral, in which case usually meds don't help. If bacterial antibiotic drops help, but colloidal silver (a good brand is sovereign silver) is safe ; effective for both bacterial ; viral conjunctivitis, one drop in each eye every 2 or 3 hours while awake. See gp if this doesn't help. See http://www.Earthclinic.Com/cures/viral_conjunctivitis4.Html#cs.
