Is it normal for newborns to have eye discharge?

Patient's question:

The baby has had eye discharge for nearly half a month, sometimes in the left eye and sometimes in the right eye, but there is no redness or swelling in the eyes, and no fever. Eye drops have been used, but they have been ineffective.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be caused by conjunctivitis. You can go to the ophthalmology department for examination to confirm, and then you can use chloramphenicol eye drops for treatment. Pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods, which is very important. There are many causes that can lead to pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to actively treat, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
