Take a look: If the cornea is clear, it is the clean region of the eye in the center, and the whites of the eyes are not red, you may watch and wait. If the child has any lesion in the clear part, cornea, or is unable to tolerate light, then do take the baby to the ER. Wish you and your baby good health!
