Suggest Treatment For Eye Discharge And Nasal Congestion In A Child

My 10 month old daughter woke up with deep circles under her eyes and eye discharge so thick she had trouble opening her eyes. Her eyes are swollen but the whites of her eyes are not pink. She also has dark colored mucus draining out of her nose. If I go to the urgent care, will they give me Rx for her or send me home and say it's just a cold?

Hello,

Yes, it is just cold with secondary bacterial infections with purulent eye discharge suggestive of conjunctivitis.

Start antibiotic drops, anti-cold syrup, antibiotic eye drops, and eye cleaning. It will respond well to treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
