Question

My baby is 119 days old and has tears with a yellow discharge. They are acting normally, just that there’s a bit more yellow discharge than usual, and they’re not feverish, nor do they have a cold. Could it be an upset stomach? What should I do?

Answer

I’m happy to explain your situation. There are generally two reasons for this condition in babies: blocked tear ducts or conjunctivitis. You can give your baby Colirac eye drops and ensure that you keep their eyes clean by not touching them with dirty hands or towels. This is the advice for the question ‘What to do if your 119-day-old baby has yellow eye discharge and tears?’ I hope this helps, and wish you and your baby a quick recovery!
