Pink eye?: Sounds like conjunctivitis.This is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (mucous membrane) of the eye. It can be caused by allergens, virus or bacteria. If the discharge becomes yellow or green, it is surely bacterial. If it continues, call your doctor.

Eye Problem: It sounds like he may have some sort of conjunctivitis, what remedies have you tried? In general, Zyrtec (cetirizine) and warm compresses can relieve the discomfort but other times a prescription lubricating antihistamine eye drop can help as well . I wish you all the best of luck

Eye Tears: There are a lot of reasons for an eye to tear. How old is he? In infants, eye tears ofter when ducts are blocked, in children when matter gets in the eye, in older kids when infected or allergies, in adults any of these are possible. If there is pain, see a doc within the day, If no pain, wait and see if it goes away. If not in a couple of days have your doc check the eye.
