Hi, Kathy

This condition responds to antibiotics and warm compresses would be very soothing for him too. Conjunctivitis is usually due to some sort of viral exposure/infection and can affect youngsters as well as adults.

Can this be caused by the pinkeye or should other causes be sought? Thanks.

Not likely but possible.
