Accepted Answer

Your 3-month-old baby’s inability to open her eyes, along with watery discharge and one eye appearing smaller, may be due to eye infection, blocked tear duct, or swelling. Try these steps:

Clean Gently – Use a soft cotton pad soaked in warm water to wipe her eyes from the inner to outer corner. Massage Tear Duct – If it's a blocked tear duct, gently massage the area between the eye and nose bridge in a circular motion. Breast Milk Drops – A few drops of breast milk can help soothe mild infections. Avoid Irritants – Keep her away from dust, smoke, and bright lights.

If the eye remains swollen, red, or sticky discharge continues, or she has difficulty opening it, consult a pediatrician or eye specialist immediately.
