5 year old with one eye red

Question

Asked for Female, 41 Years

My daughter is almost 6 yes old. Had had viral fever for 5 days and tonsil infection. Had been prescribed with antibiotic cough syrup, and paracetamol. Her temp has been 100 to 102. Initially we had given azithral but her thrust became bad so from yest we are giving refzil o. Her eye has been red for the last few days though. Only right eye.attaching some pics. She says it hurts all around. It has not reduced and is watery as well. Is this cos the flu or should I be worried about another infection. She got hurt near her eyes a few years back but she had had eye tests after so I'm assuming this is not related. This has just come after the fever. I'm worried. Pl advice.
