Hi dear,
This is probably a viral conjunctivitis. Clean the eyes with saline soaks and apply tobramycin eye drops 4 times a day to prevent secondary infection. If he is not getting better by 2-3 days, kindly take him to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query
Let me know if I can assist you further
