Question

My baby is about a month old and has yellow eye discharge in the left eye. How should I handle it?

Answer

The baby’s left eye has developed yellow discharge again, which might be due to conjunctivitis caused by consuming unclean food. It is recommended to increase fluid intake, avoid colds, keep the eyes clean, and avoid eating foods that may cause diarrhea. You can use neomycin sulfate eye drops for treatment. If there are symptoms of excessive tearing, it may indicate a blocked tear duct, and you should seek hospital treatment for tear duct irrigation.
