Hi Doc! My son is 1 month old.. Since 3 days he is having watery eyes (left eye alone) and also pus discharge.. No redness or swelling seen yet. Baby is active. Is this a cause for concern??

A. Eye discharge in newborns is common and often the result of a blocked tear duct. The blockage will usually clear up by itself within 4 to 6 months. However, newborns with eye redness, eye discharge, or excessive watering from the eyes should see a doctor to diagnose the cause and to rule out an eye infection.
