Question
My 5-month-old baby suddenly had eye discharge in the right eye yesterday, and it’s better today. But the left eye now has discharge too. It reappears after wiping, along with opaque tears and a bit of runny nose. Previous treatment and its effects: There was no such situation before. Needed assistance: Is it due to stomach upset or some inflammation?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s condition seems to be caused by internal heat, rather than inflammation. It is recommended to give the child some cooling drinks and not to dress them in too many clothes or cover them too thickly at night, which should resolve the issue.
