A member asked:

Eyes aren't red but is having a lot of eye goop, could it be anything but pink eye? like i said his eyes are not red or swollen

Specializes in Pediatrics

Could be sinus: the eye drainage could be coming backward from his nose. If he has cold symptoms, this may be the case could keep cleaning it out and see your doctor for an exam if the symptoms persist
