Noone here can diagnose for you. A doctor can prescribe antibiotic drops if its an infection such as bad conjunctivitis. But you really need a doc to advise.

I'll second KtK's suggestion - take her to her GP.

If there's pus, she almost certainly has an infection. She needs to see a doctor. This is not a medical board.
