Suggest Treatment For Red Eye In An Infant

Hi my 5 weeks old baby has a red eye. I have a 2 year old too who has a runny nose. I know from my toddler about viral and bacterial conjunctivities. Can the aproache be the same, just clean it and if viral will go away on its own? Is it in any way dangerous? Thank you.

Hi....viral conjunctivitis will go off on its own. No need to use antibiotic eye drops. Washing eyes with clean room temperature water will give a lot of relief.
