Question
Hello, I have a newborn baby who has a lot of yellow eye mucus and tears. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, it’s best to take your baby to the hospital for a check-up in this situation, to see if there is a blocked lacrimal duct. If there is a blocked lacrimal duct, your baby will need eye drops. Don’t use foolish methods like putting milk drops, as this is very harmful to your baby’s eyes. I personally recommend going to the local children’s ophthalmology department, allowing the doctor to conduct a face-to-face examination, make an accurate diagnosis, and then perform lacrimal sac irrigation followed by the application of anti-inflammatory medication for treatment, which can alleviate the symptoms.
