Suggest Remedy For Bloodshot And Goopy Eyes In Children

I have a 1 year old with a bloodshot and a little goopy eye and a 3 1/2 year old with two bloodshot eyes, a little goop when he woke up but not to bad. They have been like this since Saturday. Should I give them Visine drops, or just wait it out till tomorrow when I can call their pediatrician?

Hi..by what you say this looks like a viral conjunctivitis.

I suggest you not to use any medications without a doctor a having a look at the eyes.

At home you can cleanse the eye with room temperature clean water as many times as possible.
