well thats it really, looking much smaller now than the other eye. Older DS had the same last week, looking much better now but as DS2 is so young I am a bit worried. Not red at all. Doctors visit needed or not??

Could be conjunctivitis, bacterial or viral. Look on NHS Choices to see if it fits symptoms. less likely to be allergy as I think would affect both eyes. Could she have rubbed anything into it, baby lotion/oil?
