How to deal with excessive eye discharge in breastfed infants

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How can I deal with excessive eye discharge in breastfed infants?

Doctor's answer:

The consideration you described is conjunctivitis. You can apply some eye drops or use chrysanthemum and selfheal decoction to drink. It can be somewhat effective. The diet should be light, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more water.
The child's bowel movements are generally 1-2 times a day, which is normal and nothing to worry about. It's important to address the symptoms promptly. If there are constipation symptoms, oral intake of a moderate amount of honey can be used for treatment.
