What should I do if there is a lot of eye discharge in a 1.5-year-old baby's eyes?

Patient's question:

The baby is one and a half years old, and there are many eye discharge in their eyes, especially when they take naps during the day. When they wake up in the morning, their eyes are almost completely blocked. What's going on? What should be done? Do they need eye drops?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, it might be bacterial conjunctivitis. Pay attention to hand hygiene, avoid rubbing your eyes, apply Tobradex eye drops locally, four times a day, one to two drops each time. It usually improves within a few days. Drink more water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, get adequate rest, and reduce eye usage. Ensure you get enough deep sleep. It will improve within a few days.
