Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive June 2006: Colds and pink eye

I am not sure if Faith has it or not. She has had a cold for 4 days now. I thought it was getting better. This morning she woke up being a snotty mess LOL... runny nose, and goopy stuff in her eyes. I wiped it all out. Her eyes were a little red this morning. Now, they do not look red, but they are just watery, looks like she is crying but she is not. She is a drooly mess as well. She is not teething, she has all her teeth, or I so I think LOL...I have an appt for her at 10am to check it out.
So I do not know if she has pink eye or not. It sure looked like it this morning, but not I am not so sure.
I hate when Im not sure. There has been so many times when I have taken the kids to the dr, and to be told it is a cold.You would think with my 3rd child, I would know these things.

I hope it's not pink eye. Usually pink eye involves a lot of crust around the eyes, swollen, and greenish goo. Sometimes the eye will be crusted shut.

I hope she's feeling better soon!

I agree it's best to get it checked. Dh called me the other day asking what pink eye looked like and if it would go away on it's own or not. A coworker of his had it and she didn't know if she should go to the doc or not. She ended up going and getting cream for it. Hugs to you both.

I think I would take her in. If it is a bacterial eye infection, it will go away soon, with eye drops. Pinkeye is really contagious, too!
