You can try telemedicine. A doctor can see his/her eye and may be able to provide medications if needed.

He most likely has bacterial conjunctivitis or pink eye. Until seen nasal saline may help to remove nasal mucus and to reduce post nasal drip. Keep him well hydrated, screen for COVID-19 and monitor his temperature. Please let your physician know and a virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
