Eye gunk/ would you take her In

[Deleted]

My turn for a sick kiddo question. Amelia has a low grade fever if even a fever right around 101 but controlled with Motrin. She is teething and has a horrible head congestion. Her eyes when she woke up were green gunk and crustey. She's been sleeping awful but nursing fine.

Yes, they'll probably give you some eye gel or drops. Max had something very similar, at the same time as a sinus and ear infection. He got antibiotics and it got better fast. Good times. Poor girl... hope she feels better soon.

She's acting fine. These were when she first woke up so she's kinda flushed from sleeping.

Looks like when I had pink eye. Hope she's feeling better soon.

I would take her in. Eye junk like that is almost always indicative of conjunctivitis. It can go from not that bad looking to very painful pretty quickly.

J had this during her last cold. I took her in to confirm that it was not conjunctivitis. It wasn't and took a few days, but cleared up on its own when her cold symptoms were gone, too. It never bothered her unless I was cleaning it out:

We are next to be seen. I had to wait until Dj got home with the car seat. Her fever is gone but the gunk is coming more frequently.

Oh Ali, I hope it's not pink eye. I'm glad you went in and I hope they get her some treatment. Poor baby!!

Poor thing! Eye gunk for Blake has always been indicative of an ear infection. I'm glad you are taking her in!

I saw this on FB and was wondering-- Did they actually diagnose her with a sinus infection? They urgent care dr told me that Rhys couldn't have a sinus infection because his sinuses aren't developed?! But that's what D and Ian have and Rhys was rubbing his cheeks/sinus area like crazy while crying so I that's why I asked the dr about it...

I hope she feels better soon! Both my kids felt much better within 24hrs of starting antibiotics.

I'm sorry she is sick! Hope it resolves quickly!

That's what he called it. It was a peds urgent care. Her lungs are clear which is good. She's been ok today it was yesterday and the day before she was fussy but I just assumed teething. It was also before all the eye gunk. She fights so hard on taking any kind of medicine though
