Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hello, My son Ethan's right eye has been irritated the last two days - a little pink/puffy lid and the corner of the eye is red. It is not crusted over badly or anything like that. I took him into our clinic and he does not have pink eye or an ear infection. The Ped. said it may be viral since Ethan has a cold. Anyone else experience this? Background - Ethan was/is a hyperimmune kid. He's gotten sick a few times this year since starting Valtrex (been on it for 8 mos) and Immunofactor 6 ( 1 mo.). Any thoughts would be great! Ethan's Mom 3.11 yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 My son gets pink looking eyes when his allergies flare up, its his only real overt allergy symptom, if I give him Benadryl or Clarinex, it goes away. But viruses can also produce this, they do usually go along with some other symptoms though, but since your son is already on Valtrex, maybe not… Anyone experience irritated eyes during viral detox?
