My 11 month old daughter has runny eyes, yellowish secretions, like when you have a cold. What treatment should I do?

She has a runny nose too. She does not have red eyes or a fever.

Hello Ma'am,
You did the right thing by mentioning the presence of cold symptoms in your daughter. Indeed, it is possible in this kind of situation that secretions from her nose can go all the way up to her eyes (the little canals that connect it all in children are short, making it easier to "carry").
In such a case, the best thing to do is to simply clear the child's nose with a very effective technique that comes to us from Ste-Justine Hospital. At this age, you will need 5 mL of saline water per nostril 3 to 5 times a day.
You will see, it is very effective! 😄
The secretions in the eyes should stop in less than 2 days.
Happy day,
Alexandre
