Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello,
The blood shot eyes with crusting is because of the conjunctivitis I presume which she contracted in the swimming pool. Swimming pools infections need a thorough investigation by a competent ophthalmologist. I suggest you please consult one soon. Avoid self medications.
The fever might not be related to the conjunctivitis. Though it is not rare to have both together but considering the situation I suggest you to get the eyes examined first.
