Question
Newborns often have a lot of eye discharge in the corner of their eyes after feeding on breast milk. What could be the cause of this, and how should it be handled?
Answer
According to the description, the baby’s symptoms may be caused by conjunctivitis. You can try applying some eye drops to the baby’s eyes and giving them a decoction of chrysanthemum and prunella to help alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, ensure that the baby’s diet is light, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and make sure they consume enough water. If constipation occurs, you can give them a small amount of honey to help resolve it. If no clear cause is found after taking the baby to the hospital for a check-up, it is recommended to continue observing the baby’s symptoms and take appropriate measures based on any changes in the symptoms.
