Hello,
There are many causes of red eyes.
You have not mentioned the age of your child, otherwise it would be very helpful.
Various causes are as follows,
1. Conjunctivitis
2. Allergy
3. Injury
4. Dry eye syndrome
5. Viral infection, etc
I would like to know whether your child is having any rash or not?
Because red eye along with cough and cold may be due to measles.
Better you consult your doctor for this for correct diagnosis.
Hopes this helps you.
Thank you.
