A member asked:

My 29months son has watery, itchy, red and discharge eyes. 8 days now. saw gp 6days ago. it getting worse. eye lids thick & closing. what must i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Conjunctivitis: This sounds like this may be conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis can be viral or bacterial, and will need to be seen by a physician as your son will likely need to be on antibiotics as this has lasted for this long.
