There are many over the counter eye drops for eye irritation. Depending on the type of irritation, e.g., are they itchy, is there sticky or gummy residue on the lids, are they watery, are they dry, etc., you can choose the best type for the comfort of your child's symptoms. Take advantage of the free counseling that Pharmacists offer at the counter in the Pharmacy and give them a detailed description of what the irritation is like and they can guide you to be best choice of over the counter medications, or advise you if it would be better to see a doctor for the symptoms.
It is possible for people with viral infections to become more susceptible to some types of bacterial infections and if the symptoms indicate that could be the problem, you will need to see the doctor to get a prescription medication for the bacteria (one of the more tell-tale signs of this is a sticky, gooey discharge on the lashes and lids and very red eyes).
If the child has been having fever, be sure to keep them well hydrated, since dehydration can cause eyes to be overly dry and feel irritated. Then you would want to encourage lots of fluid intake and there are over the counter drops for dry eyes, too.
