Hello, thank you for the question.
Based on your description Conjunctivitis which is also referred to as pink eye could be a possible diagnosis; however, until an eye care professional assesses the health of the eye in office I wont be able to give you an exact and accurate diagnosis. I would recommend your son to see either an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist as soon as possible since some of the ocular conditions such as Pink eye are extremely Contagious. Mean time, I would recommend your son to avoid touching his eyes. Also, he should separate his towel from the rest of the family as well as avoid sharing his pillow to avoid the condition from spreading to the rest of the family members.
Hope your son feels better soon.

Interesting question. Rose water is known for its medicinal properties; however, i would not recommend instilling it directly in your eyes. Your natural tear film already contains enzymes to clear up your eyes constantly. If you experience any dryness or irritation in your eyes, I would recommend using artificial tears instead. Some of my favorites are Refresh and Systane Ultra. These drops may be bought over the counter at drug stores. For a soothing effect, you can always place the drops in the refrigerator and use them while they are cooler. Yes, some beauty experts do recommend mixing rose water with milk and applying it with a cotton ball under your eyes to lighten dark spots on the skin, but instilling directly into your eyes is not recommend.
Hope this was of help.
