My 8 month old's eye is having issues. He's got yellow puss coming out of it. The eye itself is bloodshot and red. And Also, the upper eyelid is red, as well as all below it. His eyes have been crusted shut all day. I clean it out and its bad again within the hour, especially if he cries, it gets glued shut.
This happened a month ago and lasted 2 days. A week later my daughter got it for three days. I had antibiotic drops that the pediatrician gave me once before and used them the whole time. I saw the doc shortly after it was gone and she gave me a refill of a stronger dose. I'm using that now. Does this sound like pink eye? Could it be something else? If it is pink eye, is it possible to have come back? Or maybe wasn't gone all the way? Is it possible that its just an extention of a cold? Maybe even from the gas heater and space heaters running? Any advice and information is well appreciated!!! Thanks
