My baby woke up with a very swollen left eye. He had a fever last night, runny nose and cough and I gave him some advil(has had Advil before), it doesnt seem to hurt him and there is no bruising, but its practically shut. Should i be taking him to the emergency room?
If one eye is swollen it can be simple inflammation due some infection of a layer of eyeball outer white--red eye , it can cause eyelids stick, child cannot open it until it is washed with warm water, however there are some other eyes diseases which need in time treatment I would recommend you .to consult doctor to examine his eye, suggest treatment, because some eye disease need urgent attention of specialist
