What Causes Yellowish Eye Boogers?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Allergies are more commonly associated with a history of itching of the affected area, in this case the eyes. Since he is not rubbing them or not complaining of itching then it is not likely due to allergies. The symptoms are more likely related to infection. Viral infection of the eyes is common so this is possible. This is treated by eye hygiene. If it is a bacterial infection then anti bacterial drops would be needed along with the eye hygiene. It would be best to take him to the doctor for assessment if symptoms worsen or do not improve. I hope this helps
