A newborn baby's eyes are yellow and have a lot of eye discharge, what is the reason?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I have been very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask what are the reasons for a newborn baby's eyes turning yellow and having a lot of eye discharge?

Doctor's answer:

Children often have watery eyes or excessive eye discharge. Parents should perform gentle massage on the side of the nose bridge near the affected eye in a downward direction each day. During the massage, press the thumb firmly against the skin and apply light force to the lacrimal sac area. Do this 2 to 4 times a day. If the massage does not improve the condition, the child should be taken to the hospital for lacrimal duct irrigation.
If the child is troubled by neonatal diseases, parents must take them to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid using blind medication to alleviate symptoms. Parents should closely observe any changes in the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
