dr my baby who is 1.7 yrs old got hit on his left eye by a swing. there is no visible injury but today I can see discharge and mild swelling . do I need to consult dr for this or will it subside by itself ?

A. A toddler can have discharge coming from their eye for many reasons. In most cases, the cause is relatively harmless, such as a clogged tear duct or viral infection. However, any eye pain or discharge that makes it difficult to see can be distressing. If it does not go away on its own, it warrants a visit to a doctor.
