and I am not sure if I should worry or not tbh
They are blood shot in the corners near the bridge of her nose.
She has had a few late nights so not sure if taht has anything to do with it.
She is 6.

COnjunctivitis ??

Crystaltips · 31/12/2005 16:25

Are they a bit sticky ?
Are they itchy ?

ct - no, not itchy or crusty at all. Just red and bloodshot.
Doesn't look like conjunctivitus.

Start of a cold perhaps .... or just plain knackered

I'd keep an eye on them ( s'cuse the pun ) and see what's it's like in a couple of days. In the meantme make sure she doesn't rub them just in case it is an infection.

Dh gets really scary (he has huge eyes as well) bloodshot eyes when in need of sleep- a little seasonal over excistement / lack of sleep perhaps?
