Hi,
We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what your son had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to conjunctivitis which he may have contracted recently and needs to be evaluated by a pediatrician and if needed an opthalmologist.
Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen and antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin,
