Hey so we leave today for a wee caravan holiday and my toddler has woken up like this 😫 we were at soft play yesterday (bad idea I know) - I’ve cleaned her eye and it does look better but I’m panicking now incase it is conjunctivitis or if it’s just been a gunky eye?

It looks like it could be. Just pop to the chemist and get some eye drops for it.. if she’s under two say it’s for your partner but it’s all yous would get from the gp anyway :)
And just keep clean with cooled boiled water and cotton wool x

I can’t help but just wanted to say how amazing are her eyelashes?!

That’s deffo conjunctivitis. My daughter has had the same recently after picking it up from nursery. I’d pick up some eye drops from the chemist (they’re specific antibiotic ones for conjunctivitis), also if you decide to not put drops in. It does clear within a week usually

It doesn't look too bad so you might be able to keep it at bay with just cooled boiled water to be honest. It just depends how quickly it comes back again as to if you can keep it getting worse.

Yeah would say so. My little boy gets this constantly. I just got drops over the counter and used sterile warm water to bathe

It could be conjunctivitis but it could also be a blocked tear duct. My eyes were like this not long ago turn out to be blocked tear duct

It could be conjunctivitis but also not as our little boys eyes end up like this when he's getting or has a cold. Due to nursery he's been to doctors a couple of times and it's always just in relation to his cold.

Yes it's pink eye! Get some eye drops from the doctor and warm wash cloths to the eye. Wash her hands really well so no one gets it!

Hello everyone thank you so much for the help we didn’t have great internet whist we were away to be able to reply - she ended up being okay I just kept cleaning her eye with warm saline water and it kept it at bay thankfully ❤️

Haha thank you I’m so jealous of them so tempted to take a pic of her lashes to my lash tech and be like 👉 those ones pls 🤣💕
