A schoolboy who was rushed into emergency surgery when he nearly lost his eye to a Strep A infection was saved by his quick-thinking mum.
Doctors first thought Lochlan McDonald, 8, had a viral infection and told his worried family to return in three days if it did not improve.
However, when her son stopped eating, worried mum Ellis Neill, from Carluke, South Lanarkshire, took him to his optician who told her to take him to hospital.
