POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. Eye discharge in a 14-day-old infant is fairly common and can be caused by a few different things, such as a blocked tear duct, eye infection, or conjunctivitis.
Here’s what you can do:
Blocked Tear Duct:
Gently clean the eye with sterile saline solution or warm water using a clean cotton ball. Massage the area near the baby’s nose gently (on the corner of the eye) to help open the tear duct. Do this several times a day.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye):
If the discharge is yellow or green and the eyes seem red, this might indicate an infection. Wipe away any discharge with a clean, damp cloth. Consult your pediatrician, as they may recommend antibiotic drops or ointment if it's a bacterial infection.
General Care:
Keep the baby’s eyes clean and avoid touching the eyes with dirty hands. Ensure proper hygiene while cleaning the area to prevent further irritation. When to consult a doctor: If the discharge is persistent, yellow/green in color, or if the baby seems to be in discomfort. If the baby has fever, or the eye looks swollen or red with irritation.
It's important to get medical advice to rule out any serious infections or conditions, especially for such a young baby.
