My poor kid...

Last night I noticed that Rosie's eyelid was a little purple/red like she whacked it one something. It wasn't bothering her and it was very slight. So I didn't worry about it. Woke up this morning and it's now swollen, more purple/red, and there are eye crusties. I have no idea what it is. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, and she isn't playing with it. So I don't think it's pink eye. WDYT?

  • Ice?  Do you have an on call nurse with your doctor's office.  I talked to ours so much last year I thought that I should give her a Christmas present.

  • It still could be pink eye even if it's not itchy.  Is it possible she got something in her eye (dust, sand, eyelash) and it's causing her eye to become irritated?  It is also possible she has an infected tear duct or gland by her eye.  If you are concerned, go to the doc.

    I am very sensitive to anything having to do with my eyes (I have permanent corneal damage from wearing contacts and having very dry eyes) and go to the doctor if I suspect anything is wrong.

  • We think we figured it out. It looks like she may have gotten a little spider bite. Go PNW bugs! It looked like she either got punched or stung on the eye lid this morning. As the day went on it went way down. Gave her a bath and noticed a little whitehead/bite. So, we're thinking it's probably spider bite. It doesn't bother her at all though.
