Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns.
* Green stuff in eye in a 7 month old child can be due to conjunctivitis which can be due to bacterial or viral infection.
* In viral conjunctivitis, there is running nose and fever can be present. It usually involves both eyes.
* In bacterial infection, there can be involvement of only eye. The discharge is not clear. Fever can be present.
* An examination by ophthalmologist should be done so that proper diagnosis and treatment can be advised.
* Do not touch eye of child frequently, it will lead to infection in the eye.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
