What Causes Yellow Eye Discharge In A Child?

I think my house has black mold, I know for a fact it has mold. What are some symptoms of it effecting my 2 month old baby? Can mold cause her eyes to be extremely watery? Her eyes get stuck together after she sleeps and it s yellow discharge coming from her eyes

Hi,
It seems that baby might be having muco-purulant conjunctivitis producing yellow discharge and sticking of eyes.
This is bacterial infection, mold has nothing to do with this.
Clean her eyes with luke warm water and put antibiotic eye drops 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
