Question
What could be the reasons for a newborn baby to have yellow eyes and excessive eye discharge?
Answer
When a newborn baby exhibits symptoms of excessive eye discharge or watery eyes, parents can gently massage the lacrimal sac area of the affected eye by the side of the child’s nose bridge, from top to bottom. This should be done 2 to 4 times a day, applying gentle pressure to the lacrimal sac area each time. If massaging is ineffective, consider taking the child to the hospital for lacrimal duct irrigation. If the child is troubled by newborn diseases, parents should immediately take the child to a doctor, avoid self-medication, and closely monitor the child’s symptoms for timely treatment.
