Patient's question:
There was yellow discharge from the left eye. A few days ago, my wife had a high fever and was treated with intravenous fluids at the hospital, and her temperature returned to normal. She fed the baby milk. However, the baby's eyes have again developed yellow discharge.Treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Are there any infant-friendly medications that can be applied without side effects?
Doctor's answer:
The baby has developed symptoms of yellow discharge from the left eye again, which may indicate conjunctivitis, likely caused by consuming foods that caused an upset stomach.Advice: It is recommended to provide more fluids to prevent catching a cold, maintain the cleanliness of the eyes at all times, and avoid foods that caused the upset stomach. Neomycin eye drops can be used to treat the condition. If tearing recurs, it may be due to a blocked lacrimal duct, in which case medical treatment such as lacrimal duct irrigation should be sought at a hospital.
