Hi, I just went through this with my 5 year old son, Take her to the DR.'s,...She needs antibiotics for her eyes,...also,..not to scare you,..as my son is fine, and I imagine your little one will be too, however, on Tuesday I had taken my son to the walk in clinic,..they sent him home, said it was nothing but a viral,..I waited till the following Thursday, to take him to his regular DR. Who almost admitted him, but decided to try antibiotics first,..
If they had admitted him, It would have been to check for kawasaki desease,..look it up,..it is scary. however, every parent should know it can happen! My son, even had slight swelling on his hands,..but other than being tired, is doing a ton better,..
Please don't wait as long as I did,..the eye problem, either way, will need antibiotics,...
