Treatment For Child S Watery Eye, Swelling, White Discharge?
My 15month old has developed a watery eye today. The kids seem a little swollen and the babysitter said she s been somewhat cranky today. She has a whitish clear discharge with extreme tearing. Her eyelids next to her eye seem red, but her eye is still white.

Hello
It seems from the history that your 15 month old is having watering and swelling.
This is seen in infections of eye like conjunctivitis or in obstruction of lacrimal drainage system called as dacryocystitis.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and next treatment depends on the diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment.
Thank you
