My son has a little drainage coming from his eye and woke up with a little crusting in the corner. The eye is not red and does not seem to bother him. Could this be the start of pink eye and is it safe to use an antibiotic drop. We are supoosed to be having a bday party for our daughter in 2days, is it safe to have people here?
I'd like to know your sons age, because if he is a newborn, then we should worry about bacterial conjunctivitis which should be treated with topical antibiotics, and sometimes it is associated with blockage in nasolacrimal duct which is a small tube that Chat Doctor. In that case we can use local antibiotic because It's difficult to tell viral from bacterial based on clinical alone. I hope this helps
