My son has red eyes and secretions, what can I do to help him?
27-year-old woman
Hello, for a few days my son has had red eyes with pus in the inner corners. I would like to believe that it is conjunctivitis... Is it contagious, can he still go to school? Is there an over the counter product that could help him? He is very itchy.

Good morning, ma'am,
Does your child have any other symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, even a little, sneezing, coughing or anything else?
Is the runny nose only in the morning or all day long?
Does your child complain of other symptoms such as light intolerance, eye pain or decreased vision?

No, he doesn't seem to have any other symptoms and the discharge remains throughout the day. Yes, he has light intolerance and complains that his eyes sting

Thanks for the feedback.
Light intolerance is a symptom that could indicate a problem. You should therefore consult an optometrist for an examination. He/she will be able to prescribe a treatment in the same way as a doctor if deemed necessary.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
