My baby has had yellowish discharge from one eye for 1 week?

Hello Mrs,

If the secretions persist for more than a week without improvement, you should consult your doctor.

Does your child have other symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose?

Are the secretions colored all day or only after naps for example?

Thanks for the information!

In the vast majority of cases it could be viral in origin, so it goes away on its own after 7 days at most. Just clean the area with a clean wet towel. Avoid sharing the towel as a precaution.

As mentioned, if it lasts more than 7 days without improvement, you should consult a doctor.

We'd love to hear from you!

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
