What is the reason why eyes cannot be opened at birth?

Patient's question:

Born with eyes that couldn't open, excessive eye discharge, barely opened them a little after more than half a month, felt very difficult to open their eyes.

Doctor's answer:

The characteristics of physiological jaundice in newborns are that it usually appears 2-3 days after birth, becomes most severe around 4-5 days, and typically resolves in full-term infants within 7-14 days and in premature infants within 3-4 weeks. Additionally, jaundice is usually mild, and the child does not exhibit other discomfort symptoms, so parents need not worry.
If the child is affected by newborn diseases, parents must take the child to a doctor for timely medical treatment and avoid blindly using small-advertised drugs. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
