Is there a home treatment for his eye or do you absolutely need antibiotics?

My son woke up this morning with a runny eye that seemed to be full of secretion. Since then, it is red and swollen. My son has a good cold.

Good morning, ma'am,
Does your child complain of light intolerance? Does he/she complain of eye pain or decreased vision?
Are the secretions clear or greenish? Are the accumulations only when waking up?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
no he is not complaining. The accumulations are greenish and only when waking up for the moment. But the redness and swelling are there.

Thanks for the information!
This is often cold related and viral in origin and heals on its own like a cold. I suggest for the time being to just monitor the situation. A wet washcloth can be used to clean the area when you wake up, taking care not to reuse it the share.
If the situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement, you should consult a doctor.
I am available if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
