This past week Lexi has been really congested and has a loose cough. This morning she had crusty eyes and there is a red line from the inner corner of her eye down to her cheek. In the 11 years that I have been parenting we have avoided pink eye so I am not exactly sure how it presents itself.

No that doesn't sound like pink eye. If it's pink eye, the inner pink part of her lower lid will be red, ans he eye bloodshot and crusty.

My son had something that looked a little like pinkeye but not quite. Turned out to be adenovirus. He ended up being very sick for a week and my DH caught it as well. Something to keep an eye on.

I would say that it's not, and it's probably related to the virus or whatever is causing the congestion and cough. I took my DS to the dr. once when we were on vacation. He'd had a cold, and I was sure he had pink eye. What he had was an ear infection. I asked the dr. how it could be an ear infection when he had all this stuff in his eyes, and the dr. smiled and said "Well, it's all one big hole inside your head."

Probably not. Pink eye is a yellow/green snotty looking discharge from the eye. It's usually crusty after waking, the white of the eye looks bloodshot, the underside of the eyelids are pink/red, and it itches like crazy!
