My 7 month old baby seems to have conjunctivitis (watery eye with yellow/green discharge). What should I do?

Would you advise me to go to the doctor or wait and clean with a warm washcloth? Or look for something at the pharmacy?

Hello Ma'am,
Before you go to the pharmacy, I highly recommend that you go to the pharmacy to show your baby's eye to a pharmacist. Second, if your baby has a bit of a runny nose, it's possible that this secretion is actually coming from his or her nose (through the little canal that connects the two and is called the Eustachian tube).
So, if the nose is a bit runny, I would recommend doing the nasal hygiene techniques described on pages 6 and 7 of the following document: https://www.chusj.org/getmedia/d81f7af6-a93c-4e86-9011-f523e13279a8/depliant_F-886_hygiene-nasale.pdf.aspx?ico=.pdf
