dear patient,
your baby is suffering from conjuntivities.but what is worring to me is that she is vomiting and excessively crying which are not good signs.They may suggest brain infection secondary to eye infection. first of all u have to start some antibiotic eye drops,example a ciplox eye drops.get minimal blood tests done,complete blood count and c-reactive protiens.if they are abnormal,then immediately consult a peadiatrician.Meanwhile the drops to be continued for seven days,dose is 2 drops three times a day.And proper hygiene of eyes,that cleaning them with sterile cotton dipped in warm water
