A member asked:
My 5 month old baby scratched her eye. it isnt bothering her but its red? should i wait till morning or must i go to a gp?

Corneal abrasion: A scratched eye, or corneal abrasion, would be quite painful. If your baby is acting fine and not in apparent pain, then it is fine to have the eye redness addressed in the morning by her regular pediatrician.
