Is it normal for a seven-day-old baby to have yellow matter like eye boogers?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, yellow discharge from the corner of a baby’s eye is generally caused by dacryocystitis and can be treated with ofloxacin eye drops. These drops are suitable for treating bacterial conjunctivitis and bacterial keratitis caused by sensitive bacteria, and the dosage for children should be as prescribed by a doctor. Pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands! There are various factors that can lead to eye injuries, so it is essential to understand the cause before treatment and follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Moreover, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
