What Causes Small Dark Brown Spots And Redness In Eyes In A 13 Months Old?

Hi,
I feel that he is going through a viral upper respiratory tract infection.
But at the same time as you say there is small bleeding in the subconjunctival region, it would be but Pertussis also.
A child at this age when he is not liking to be comforted means he is agitated, he will require medical attention. Please take him to the nearest Emergency Room.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
