Children often get pink, watery eyes with a cold or allergies. "Pink eye," however, refers to a bacterial infection on the surface of the eye that is highly contagious and requires treatment with antibiotic drops or ointment. Symptoms of bacterial pink eye include pink or red color to the white part of the eye, and a large amount of yellow or green eye discharge. The eye is often crusted shut when the child wakes from sleep, and the eyelids may be slightly puffy due to irritation from the infection.
