What Causes Itchy Red Eyes In Children?
My 2 year old has itchy, eyes that look a lil red and have goey stuff developing, and crusty when she sleeps, I m thinking it s pink eye, she was prescribed vigamox when she was 6 weeks old for an infection. I figured it would be better to use than nothing, but after two uses, I realized it s expired, can I continue to use? And will it help her??

Hello. I just read through tour question.
The symptoms you describe are consistent with pink eye, as you say. Vigamox is an excellent medicine for this. However, it is never a good idea to use expired medication. I recommend consulting with your doctor so a new prescription can be written.
