Question
Is excessive eye discharge in babies always due to duct blockage?
Answer
My daughter has had eye discharge in both eyes since birth, sometimes yellow and sometimes white, merging together or alternating. Is it necessary to check for tear duct blockage? How can we confirm the diagnosis? Thank you. “Her eyes have always had some eye discharge, sometimes yellow and sometimes white, merging together or alternating, sometimes good and sometimes bad.” In this situation, it’s not due to tear duct blockage but rather her body is always in an internal heat state. It is recommended that she drink more water (chrysanthemum or honeysuckle water) to dissipate the internal heat. There won’t be a persistent “always having eye discharge” issue.
