It could be pinkeye. A triple antibiotic eye ointment given three times a day will help clear it up and make the kid's eye feel better. But it could be entropion, a condition where the eyelashes (usually the lower ones) turn inward and rub the eyeball. It is very painful but easily corrected by your vet. He will take a few stitches in the lower eyelid to help turn the eyelashes outward. Check to see if the eyelashes are turned inward.
