Could Inflammation Of Eye And Tearing Of Mucus Be Immediate Matter Of Concern?

My one and a half year old daughter has a sporadic bad cough for the last two days. She coughed hard enough to vomit once this morning, and once this evening. It also appears she is now developing a red inflamed eye with tearing and mucus. Can this wait til morning? Any thoughts.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Redness and mucoid discharge from eye is suggestive of Conjunctivitis (infection) . You can go to doctor in the morning(I dont know which morning) as it is not an emergency as such. But it is required to go to a doctor as early as possible. All the best.
