POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. It sounds like your 27-day-old baby may have a blocked tear duct, which is quite common in newborns. This can cause eye discharge (slime or yellowish mucus), watering, and mild swelling near the corner of the eye. It usually happens because the tear duct hasn't fully opened yet.
Most of the time, it clears up on its own by the time the baby is 6 to 12 months old. In the meantime, you can gently wipe the discharge with a clean, damp cotton ball and do a tear duct massage (press lightly with a clean finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and move downward a few times a day).
If the eye becomes red, the swelling increases, or the discharge becomes thick and yellow/green, it could be an infection, and you should consult a pediatrician for proper treatment, which might include antibiotic eye drops.
