What should I do if a child's eyes have eye discharge?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Children having excessive eye discharge usually have three reasons:
1. They have a "fire" (internal heat), so you can give them some heat-clearing medicine or have them drink more water.
2. They have indigestion, with high stomach heat. Don’t overfeed them at each meal.
3. Conjunctivitis, as the child doesn’t pay attention to eye hygiene and often rubs their eyes. You can use some Tobradex eye drops!
