What is the reason for a one-month-old baby having tears and a lot of eye discharge?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the baby is crying and has discharge from the eyes, it could be caused by issues such as heatiness or conjunctivitis. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a proper examination. In the meantime, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and consumes a balanced diet with vegetables and fruits. For medication, you can try applying erythromycin ointment or nutritional eye drops. Maintain good hygiene, avoid foods, and prevent the baby from rubbing their eyes. Wishing the baby a healthy and happy growth!
