Not really...: While it might not hurt, bland artificial tears are preferred. A home remedy of chamomile tea warm compresses will soothe the eyes a little until you can have your daughter evaluated by an ophthalmologist. If it is one eye only and there is a purulent discharge, antibiotics may help. If bilateral, it may be viral and antibiotic drops might not help. Keep the lashes clean, since glued lids hurt.
