Hi Mum,
Your best bet is to get a doctor to look at your daughter's eye. It could be an allergy, but it might also be an eye infection, something known as pinkeye. The only way to know for sure is to get a diagnosis. With the correct diagnosis, the correct treatment should take care of it.
Best,
Kathi
