Eye specialist: Take him to an ophthalmologist, who specializes in eye conditions, including infections. He will have most current means of treating such conditions. If you can locate a pediatric ophthalmologist, that would be even better.

See an eye MD!: I would have him see a pediatric ophthalmologist asap since a corneal ulcer is a serious problem. Hopefully, it is something less serious and more common like viral conjunctivitis ("pinkeye") or allergic conjunctivitis.
