Infant Poked Eye. Eye Is Red And Not Reacting To Light. Suggestions?

My 4 month old poked her eye earlier today. She would not open her eyes for few minutes then she did and after I washed the fluids off she slept. When she woke up I took her under the sun then turned on some lights she did not react to those. But her eye is red (the upper part) and her eyelid is red as well. What should I do? Thank you!

hello,
She did not react to lights ?
Then what are you waiting for go and get done a ophthalmological examination.
No body can poke her eyes on its own to cause much damage to vision .
But still when you have checked and you feel there is some loss of vision then it is better to get it checked by a doctor.
I find this answer helpful
