Question
How to handle excessive eye discharge in newborns?
Answer
Excessive eye discharge in newborns may be due to overheating or wearing too many clothes, leading to internal heat. It is recommended that parents adjust the indoor temperature and humidity appropriately, and ensure that both the baby and the mother drink plenty of water. Moreover, use cotton swabs to clean the eye discharge from the baby’s eyes to keep them clean and comfortable. If the situation continues without improvement, it should be taken as a prompt to take the baby to see a doctor.
