Hi,
Thank you for your query.
If green discharge is coming out from the eyes and ears it means that there is infection and your son needs antibiotic to control the infection. You can wait till morning and get him checked up by his doctor who shall do the needful. It is not an emergency that you need to take him to the ER.
I hope I have responded to your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son a speedy recovery.
Regards,
RKK
