What Could Cause Redness And Sticky Discharge In Eyes?

Hello,
my 4 year old woke up with her left eye very red and sticky discharge. She does have a cold for some days now, and has been complaining of ear ache. I am taking her to see her doctor today, but i am not sure about the eye. I asked her if her eye is bothering her and she said no.

Hi,
From history it seems that due to having upper respiratory tract infection there might be having muco-purulant conjunctivitis producing sticky discharge.
As one eye is affected, there might be having chance of some foreign body fell in and causing some infection.
Put antibiotic eye drops 3-4 times a day after cleaning with warm water.
If require go for one antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Ok and take care.
