Pink eye?

I think my DS has pink eye.  I'm going to be taking him in to see the doctor in the morning.  Poor guy.  His eye is always glued shut after he sleeps.

Anyone else have this?

It could just be a blocked tear duct? But if you are unsure, it definitely merits a doctor visit.

My sons eye is like that but it's a blocked tear duct.  Some days are better than others with it.

We just had the same thing. I thought it was a blocked duct because she had that after she was born. I took her to the doctor just to be safe and came home with meds for an ear infection and pink eye which I was told commonly come together. Hope it is just a blocked duct.

aww poor little guy. i think with pink eye, his eye will actually get pink. the white part the blood vessels will stick out, it will be cloudy and look pink. with a blocked tear duct there is just tons of discharge and it is crusty, either way i wouldnt risk it and i would bring him to the doctors. hope he feels better soon!

I thought DD had pink eye at 6 weeks old b/c her eye was veiny & crusted shut, but luckily the pedi said it was just a clogged tear duct. It cleared up in 3 days by just applying warm compress, massaging with my finger in a downward motion along the side of her nose & suctioning.

Like the PP mentioned, when my son had pink eye, he also had an (double) ear infection. He was given antibiotic for the infection & drops for his ear.

Hope LO feels better soon!

He does have a blocked tear duct on that side, but it has gotten significantly worse the last two days.  It also looks red and irritated.  I hope it clears up soon!
