Question
A two-year-old boy has a lot of dry eye discharge upon waking up in the morning. After wiping it away, moist, pale yellow eye discharge reappears in the corner of his eye, and this situation continues throughout the morning. Is this a sign of heat?
Answer
For a two-year-old child, excessive eye discharge may be a symptom of heat. It is recommended to give the child ice-cold pear juice or other fruit juices and encourage them to drink more water to alleviate the symptoms. If the child does not want to drink water, you can give diluted juice, but avoid pure juice and add an appropriate amount of water. Additionally, maintain a light diet for the child and be cautious to prevent the child from rubbing their eyes to avoid inflammation.
