Conjuctivitis

My 7mth old son has sticky eyes this morning, bit itchy but eye is not red or inflammed. His left one was also watery this afternoon too. Is this conjuctivitis? Anyone know of any remedies I could use or should I just go to GP?

I would go to the GP. If it is conjunctivitis then you will need antibiotics to clear it. You don't want the rest of the family catching it in the meantime.

Well, if it's viral then that doesn't mean antibiotics won't help. Chloramphenicol is the usual treatment. If it's bacterial then your GP would prescribe something else.
