Q: my 3 yr old little girls whites of her eyes are pink they look sore but she says there not hurting s
Hi Carlene,
I don't see a question here, but I presume you are asking what might be causing the pink color. Unfortunately, I'm not sure you can totally rely on a child so young being able to describe how she is feeling with accuracy. If her eyes don't look as they usually do, I'd call the pediatrician for a possible evaluation. She might have an infection of the eye or just allergies. Either way, there are eye drops that will probably help, but you want to be sure you're treating the real problem.
Best,
Kathi
