5 year old grandson has been unwell for two days, feverish, sickly, coughing. Now is fairly well, eating, drinking, playing, but with one side of each eyeball very red and also complains that the tops of his teeth ache. See a doctor tomorrow if condition continues - or go to hospital today? Thanks

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain he seems to be suffering from sinus infection and as the sinuses are present close to the roots of upper teeth therefore there can be teeth and gum pain when there is sinus infection..

Redness of eye can be due to sinus inflammation while can also be due to infection in eye..

Consult a Paediatrician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like sinus x rays can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
He can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, steam inhalation and saline nasal irrigation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
