What should I do about conjunctivitis in my 4 year old son?

Question

For the past two days my son has had swollen eyes. I thought it could be due to either a mosquito bite or conjunctivitis. I have been giving Benadryl morning and night since Friday night. The swelling has gone down but it still looks like a little eye. This morning I looked at the Corner of his eye and saw that the red seemed more viscous or apparent than the other. Do I need to put any kind of drops in?

Hello,The best thing is to show your boy's eye to a medical professional. Here on the internet, it is very difficult for me to know if the eye has conjunctivitis without seeing it. So I recommend that you go to the pharmacy with your son so that you can discuss it face to face with a pharmacist who has seen the eye. Have a nice day,Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
