Eye redness and irritation

My 9-month-old daughter has had redness, eye discharge, and irritation in her eyes for the past 10 days. She keeps rubbing and scratching her eyes with her hands. Please suggest.

Eye blink a lot

Due to driness? Is it possible to blink a lot more than usual of eyelids? Actually I have a dryness problem due to sunlight, screen, air, I got a dryness issue during summer so I used to have an eye drop for it. Apart from that I have myopia 4.5 and 5 . Mainly wanted to know if I need to use dry eyedrops daily or how I can get rid of the excessive blinking problem?

Refractive Error

My son is 3 years old, he doesn't interact much and doesn't and doesn't follow instructions. Recently he has been diagnosed with refractive error in both eyes. The doctor has prescribed a minimum number as of now -2.00 Cyl in RE & -3.00 Cyl in LE. He said his LE number can be more. There is a sph number also. Can someone tell me what needs to be done. As I have seen at multiple places the number keeps on increasing until 18 years of age. Also the doctor has prescribed Pataone drops once a day and ecotears plus (Sodium Hyaluronate 0.18) drops twice a day. Any suggestions and help matters.
