1. White discharge is normal in all age groups upon wakening (unless proved otherwise) so have an Ophthalmic check up for symptomwise approach.

2. Keep a handkerchief to wipe the discharge repeatedly. Do not touch it everywhere, as the discharge is very infective and Isolate from other family members.

. Do not pad the eye,keep it open and use dark glasses for photophobia.

3. Ciplox or Gentamycin eye drops (1 drop) 2 hourly till the symptoms and redness subside.

4. Change to a higher Antibiotic if eyelids show swelling and cellulitis.
