Suggest Treatment For Pink Eyes In Infants

My seven year old daughter has pink eye. We're administering the eye drops - started that today - but I also have an 8 week old infant, and I need to know if this can be severely dangerous for him? It's been nearly impossible to quarantine the seven year old and I'm beginining to get worried about my newborn.

Try as far as possible.Also try to explain the elder child. He may understand some how.
But after all these, if the younger child gets the infection you can start his treatment also.prevent rubbing of eyes .
