Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having crusty red eye which started in one eye and it has spread to other eye also.
This indicates it is acute infective conjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic and antiinflammatory eye drops.
If she is having systemic symptoms like fever, cold she requires treatment by oral antibiotics.
Since the conjunctivitis is contagious she needs to use separate kerchief and need to avoid close contact with other children.
Thank you
