This can be simple chemosis of conjunctiva.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your son is having redness and swelling of the eye following rubbing his eye.
Most probably there will be chemosis and edema of the conjunctiva covering the cornea. If this is present then no need to be worried. This will resolve spontaneously. The use of decongestant and artificial tears will provide symptomatic relief.
You are right in worrying as this is related to eye and this needs to be confirmed. Hence if possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you


This is chemosis of conjunctiva, no need to be worried.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
I saw the photos attached with the question.
The photos show edema and swelling of the conjunctiva probably caused by rubbing of the eyes. This is called as chemosis. Since the conjunctiva is swollen and loose a part of it is covering black portion of the eye (cornea).
This black portion of the eye is called as cornea and not retina.
No need to be worried. This will resolve slowly and going to ER is not required. If this does not resolve and if there are symptoms like watering, discharge and pain in the eye then you need to consult your doctor.
Applying cold compression over closed eyelids will be helpful.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
