What Causes Puffy Eyes And Cold In Kid?

My grandson has had a cold for the past week. Very low grade fever at the beginning of the cold, and now has Green eye bugers when he wakes up. His eyes are also watery and a bit puffy. No fever or other symptoms. Is this serious, or just a part of a cold and growing up. He is 2.4 years old, no other conditions.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
Eyes getting slight puffy is normally seen in some children when they wake up after sleep. As long as it subsides after a little while its OK. Watering of the eyes with puffiness can happen if the child has hot some infection in the eyes. That usually is associated with redness of eyes. If you don't see that then nothing to worry. If the puffiness increases or is very prominent and lasts longer then he needs to be seen by a pediatrician. Hope this advice helped. Take care.
