What Is The White, Sticky Discharge From Eye?

My 1 yr old daughter has some white sticky stuff comming out of her left eye, usually she has this when she wakes up from her sleep. But today she has it even when she is awake, If i clean it it comes back in a few minutes. Her eyes are niether red nor itchy. What could it be?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi....By what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a viral conjunctivitis. I suggest you keep cleaning the eyes frequently with clean room temperature water. If it still persists for more than 3 days then I suggest you either visit your kid's pediatrician or upload an image of the eyes in this website and get back to us.
