What Could Bumps On Sclera With Red Eyes Suggest?

My daughter has had pink eye since Wednesday, it is much better, but still red and goopy. Today I noticed a white bump on her sclera, fairly far down/back under her lower eyelid. I thought it was some of the pink eye goop, but it wouldn't move, although it did seem to shift slightly when I gently pushed against it with her eyelid. What might this be?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your daughter is having pink eye with white bump on the sclera. This indicates inflammatory conditions of the eye like episcleritis.
This requires treatment by the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
