Hello Amy and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I am really concerned that your child is suffering from fever. Fever with
conjunctivitis occurs with viral infections like adenovirus. Its always better to take your child to hospital as kids deteriorate very fast.
If doctor feels that
eye infection is due to bacteria he might add antibiotics.
Till then keep giving him adequate fluids, and antipyretics.
Paracetamol is recommended than mefenemic acid for fever.
Remember the danger signs like not feeding well,
vomiting multiple episodes, seizures,
drowsiness where you need to take your child immediately to emergency.
Don't worry. He will be alright. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Balaji C
