I think my son has conjunctivitis. He's almost three and has watery, sticky eyes which are producing lots of goo and look red. I happen to have a doctors appointment booked for myself tomorrow. I'm torn between going and taking him with me so they can have a look and cancelling the appointment and keeping him at home. We'd have to go out in the snow and the buses aren't running too regularly so we could be waiting for quite some time. I think he's also teething at the moment so really isn't happy.
Do people generally take toddlers to see a doctor for conjunctivitis? Do they give you anything for it?
