DD2 is 21 mo old and since last Monday has had constant greenish yellow eye discharge in the corners on her eyes. Her eyes slightly pink. Tuesday it looked crusty and swollen so I called the ped who based on my phone description told us to treat it like pink eye. This is also due to the fact that DD1 was diagnosed with pink eye a week before that.
So after 2 days of the prescription eyedrops, the swelling went away but she's still getting the discharge in the corners of her eyes throughout the day. I'm still giving her the eye drop so she's on day 4 of getting drops. I also noticed she's coughing a little in the middle of the night. Usually just for a few minutes although last night for about 20. Doesn't seem to bother her and she just goes back to sleep
Anyways she has no other symptoms.
Could it be an ear infection or something else? Usually I thought pink eye clears within a day or so but I'm worried about this excessive discharge.
Do I need to wait it out? DH seems to think its improving but I guess I'm the worrywart in the family.
