Moms eyes are shut

Anyone visit their LO and find their eyes shut from guk? I used a wash cloth with warm water but could not get her to open her eyes today. Any advice? I asked the CNA and no help. Other than that I kissed, hugged and prayed with her.

    Sounds like pink eye.

    I would ask if she can see a doctor. That seems unusual

    It could be just an allergy to something. I’ve had that happen and OTC eye allergy drops like Zaditor usually help.
