3 year old with mucus build up in eyes. 2 days of symptoms should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conjunctivitis: yes i would have this treated. This most likely conjunctivitis and usually caused by a virus. However, we use bacterial eye drops to prevent secondary bacterial infections. You need to get some eye drops as soon as possible and use in both eyes. Watch for problems breathing and fever in case this illness causes other illnesses to arise which is rare. Hope this helps.
