What Could Be The Cause Of Bad Cough At Night Followed By Crusty Eyes In The Morning ?
My son has crusty eyes in the morning and a bad cough for a few weeks. He is fine during the day but is coughing at night and wakes up with crusty eyes. Is this just a virus or could it be something else?

Dear,
Thank you for posting the query.
Crusty eyes is the morning indicate a bacterial infection. To take care of that use antibiotic eye drops 3-4 times a day and apply antibiotic eye drop before sleeping.
The cough could be a bacterial infection or a viral infection. Further investigations are required in that reagrd.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
