Suggest remedy for infection in eye
Patient: my son is 2 and was diagnosed with an eye virus. i cannot remember the name of it. the dr said it was like pinkeye but worse. the infection started as a small red blood shot spot on his eye and 24 hrs later the entire eye was blood red then 24 hrs later the other eye was completely red. no white of the eye can be seen now. we continue to use the eye drops he perscribed . i am just wanting to know the name of the virus for research. thank you Doctor: Hi,  It is difficult to guess. There are 100s of viruses. But the most common ones are - adenovirus.   Other viruses that can be responsible for conjunctival infection include herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), picornavirus (enterovirus 70, Coxsackie A24), poxvirus (molluscum contagiosum, vaccinia), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
