My 18 month old appears to have an eye infection in his left eye and a fever of 103. What can I do for him? I ve given him tylenol for the fever and will be giving him ibuprophen alternately (he is teething-3 molars at once) but I don t know how to treat the eye infection/
Dear Parent, The symptoms suggest that your child may be having a viral/ bacterial infection and needs to be seen by a pediatrician for the diagnosis and to know if antibiotics would be needed. In the meantime you can use general hygiene measures like clean his bedding, use a separate towel for the infected eye, wipe off the discharge from his eyes with cotton and lukewarm water.
