Light sensitivity: Call your pediatrician and ask for an immediate referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist, not a general ophthalmologist. Your baby could have some serious inflammation or an infection.

Mgt: She should see herPCP and possibly a pediatric Opthalmologist. Light sensitivity may be associated with inflammatory conditions affecting the eye. Gently wash her eyes with sterile saline solution.
