that low-grade fever is nothing to be alarmed about. since some types of pink eye (conjunctivitis) is related to viruses like cold viruses there could be an association since viruses can cause minor temperature elevations. if the eye is unusually swollen or painful then it would be wise to get properly examined but in most cases simple pink eye should not really cause a fever.
can pinkeye cause a fever? . my 2. 5 year old seemed to have pinkeye with redness and mucous discharge in one eye. we got drops from the pharmacy but now she has developed a low-grade fever (just about 100*). can pinkeye cause a fever or could she have something else that i should call about?
