A member asked:

My baby is 7 months old and her left eye is turning red which looking closely in it, it looks like she has something close to her eyeball?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Followup with doctor: You need to followup with your baby's doctor. This may be a serious infection of the skin surrounding the eyeball - periorbital cellulitis
