this is most likey pink eye (conjunctivitis) there really is no home remedy other than wiping the gunk away, and maybe a cool compress. the doctor will prescripe some eye ointment or drops, and it will clear up within a day or two. If she is in daycare, she will not be able to go until she has been on the antibiotic for 24 hours.
