A member asked:

What are the symptoms of pink eye in a baby or toddler?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Redness: Red, watery eye with some mucus discharge. Pink eye is a viral infection and usually happens after getting a cold. If the discharge is green and pussy then it may be bacterial. It’s a good idea to consult an eye care provider in person.
