Patient's question:
What is the reason why my child, who has just been born for a few months, always has eye discharge? I hope the doctor can explain it to me.Doctor's answer:
Normal children, 2-3 months old, may have some eye discharge in the morning upon waking. This is because the eyelashes grow inward during this period, and the friction stimulates the eyes to produce discharge. Typically, around the age of 1, the eyelashes naturally grow outward, and the discharge will gradually decrease. Therefore, if left untreated, you can gently wipe from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye with a warm towel. Breastfeeding mothers should also pay attention to their diet and avoid getting overheated.
