Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Treatment: The age of your baby is not provided. If you baby is less than 6 weeks of age, please see your pediatrician. Associated cough may indicate development of a lung infection. If the baby is otherwise well and older, an eye infection called conjunctivitis is likely and antibiotic eye drops may be prescribed.
