Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...by what you quote I feel these nonspecific symptoms point out towards as atypical infection and especially when there's eye discharge. Though there's no fever and appetite is normal, the other possibility to be borne in mind is Rickettsial infection. I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this.
