Hmmm. My daughter has had pink eye a couple of times but it never affected the skin around her eyes. I would take her to the doc.

I had this recently. I’ve also had pink eye in the past and it never got swollen, just red and itchy.

When my eyelid swelled, like Charlotte’s, I was told it was an allergic reaction to something and I was prescribed antibiotics. The antibiotics cleared it.

I hope you find the answers you’re looking for here or at the doctors office.

Usually with pink eye they have yellowish drainage and will be itchy and sore. Keep your hands and hers CLEAN!!! If it is pink eye its very contagious!!!

It looks like she’s having an allergic reaction to something, possibly even a hayfever allergy.

If it is pink eye makes sure she washes her hands after she touches her eye and try not to touch the other or it will spread. And don’t let her touch your eyes either. They have some OTC meds for pink eye, but she may be too young for them. Try the pharmacy and ask.

I would say allergy to something. My kiddo gets that in the fall and spring.

A pharmacist might be able to help. They are actually usually very helpful. Pink Eye is an actual infection, though. She’ll need to get on antibiotic eye drops to clear it. Stear clear, too, or you might get it. Pink eye is known for being highly contagious.

I just looked up “antibiotic eye drops for pink eye” on Google and this link came up:

That might help you.

With my now 2 year old we were told he had pink eye 10 times in a matter of just a couple months, turns out it was not pink eye, he was just allergic to our cat and to febreeze. His eyes looked the that and benedryl did not help for him. The only thing that helped were eye drops to clear away the yuckys and to keep the cat away from him (we eventually had to give him away) and keep all febreeze and products containing febreeze away.
