I came on here to ask advise on best treatment for my little girl, who's eyes are gunky, with a light yellowy/greeny sort of pus. I assumed it was conjunctivitis, but having read your post, I am wondering, because she is very snotty at the moment too. Anyway, can anyone recommend some eye drops for a 20 month old? Want to try buying something this weekend, and if it's not any better, I'll take her to the doctors on Monday...
