Suggest Treatment For Congestion, Red Watery Painful Eyes And Cold
Our three year old daughter has a 102 fever, congestion, red watery eyes, complains of eyes hurting and is very irritable and crying a lot. She had had colds, but this seems worse. Went to pediatrician today and was examined and told to monitor fever and if it doesn t go down by Sunday, to come back. Is this something more than a cold that we should be concerned about?
