Hi,Sagunthala ji,
Thanks for query,
Your son might have conjunctivitis,it may be due to allergic or due to cold,
If there is yellowish muco purulent discharge from eye indicates infection.
Put eye antibiotic drops in the eye three hourly,if no improvement he may require oral antibiotic drops orally,
Clean eyes with warm water carefully.
ok and bye.
