Reason For Eye Goop Of The Size Of Pinkie After 102.7 Fever

My two year old started out with a 102.7 fever at night. Next morning, 99. Did not get any higher than 100. She ate ok. Wasn't very interested in eating much. But she was goofy at time, although very needy (reached out to be held/sit in lap). This morning, she had eye goop the size of my pinkie, but no fever. Not interesting in eating anything. Any idea what it may be?

It sounds like she might have gotten an infection, most likely viral. The eye goop is probably pus from the infection. However, there is a chance it could be bacterial, especially if it's only in one eye. In that case, she might need antibiotic eyedrops to get rid of it. If it doesn't clear quickly or seems to be getting worse, bring her to a doctor and have it checked. Hope this helps.
