My daughter has had a cold for almost a week now; head and chest congestion, runny nose, stuffy nose, etc. Now this morning, the cold has settled in her right eye. It is not pink eye! I am just curious before calling the doctor to see if anyone knows about toddlers and eye drops. Thanks.

I have read the answers so far....thanks for the responses. Would using a warm compress over the eye be a good idea?

I would not place any drops in a child's eyes unless prescribed by your MD or practioner. RN in Ca.

Ask your pharmacist they really no best . I wouldn't tkae advice from anyone lese when it comes to children. especially things like eyes tthey cannot be repaired once damaged. If you can't get to the pharmacy call one. Beleive me you're always better safe then sorry/

I would not put anything in my kid's eye without checking with the doctor first.

It's okay. Either get a prescription for your pediatrician, or call and see what they recommend. Not every drop is okay for children that young.

I wouldn't take a chance with my baby. Call the ER and ask them.

Call your doctor and ask the nurse.
