Red eyes in kid
My son is 5 year old. Had an eye infection during Dec 2 nd week. Gave Toba eye drops for 3 days upon consultation. But it reappeared after 2 days. Again I gave Toba for 2 days. It settled.
But after a week, his eyes are appearing watery most of the time and reddish at times. But the red veins shown in the picture are there all the time in both the eyes. Is it normal ? Or the infection persisting still ?.

Please stop all eye drops and use lubricant eye drops for a few days. These are available OTC. Get blood tests for ruling out allergy- CBC, Absolute Eosinophils Count, IgE levels. Unchecked use of antibiotic eye drops may even be harmful.
