Eye infection
My son is having an eye infection affected by allergy and a cold. I went to the eye doctor, and she prescribed Winolap eye drops for one week. I gave them to my child for one day, but he said there is no pain. However, he is unable to fully open his eyes; he can only open them halfway.
