Question
Why does my baby have excessive eye discharge and watery eyes? Urgent! Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that my baby has a lot of yellowish eye discharge and is always teary-eyed, as if it’s itchy. I thought it might be due to an upset stomach. I’ve been giving her Qing Qing Bao these two days, but it’s still like this. My baby is seven months old. Please inform me if any doctor knows about this. Thank you.
Answer
Based on your situation, it appears that your baby’s excessive yellowish eye discharge may be caused by an upset stomach. I suggest first using breast milk to wipe the eyes, and at the same time, encourage your baby to drink more plain water with a bit of glucose. Also, maintain good hygiene for the baby and avoid spicy foods in the mother’s diet. These measures should help improve the situation gradually. I hope these suggestions are helpful, and wish your baby good health!
