What Causes Green Discharge From The Eyes Of An Infant?
My 3 month old baby has had green goo coming from her eyes since birth. Pediatrician said it could be blocked tear duct and to use ointment on eye. Ointment didn t help so at 2 months he prescribed eye drops. Her eyes were getting better but they have recently gotten worse then they have ever been.what is causing this?

Hi dear,I had gone through your question and understand your concern. Discharge in infants suggest dacriocystitis. With such presentation in my clinic, I advice to consult opthalmologist,he will open this canal and tear will go inside nose instead on the cheeks. Continue your drops and go to doctor.
