It was a case of "pink eye". They can either be viral or bacterial in nature. You get anti-bacterial eye drops. If they do nothing, then it's viral, and you just have to wait it out, which I did.
The pharmacist did exactly what they should have, and I was happy to avoid the wait for a GP. This was a perfect example of a medical issue that a pharmacist or nurse practitioner should be able to deal with. I'm happy they modified the role of pharmacists to allow for my treatment.
Also, toddlers are gross...and give you gross diseases. A lifetime of being somewhat cautious and clean is now coming back to haunt me, as I'm getting all the diseases I'd previously avoided my whole life.
