Conjunctivitis: He has conjunctivitis and the bruised eye socket may be due to his rubbing. See your pediatrician for treatment.

Trauma or infection: Infection is potentially very serious in a young child. Get this checked out. And if there is fever, go to the emergency room. If it is trauma, how did this happen?
