What Causes An Yellow Discharge In The Eye?
Hi My 7 months old girl has some whitish to yellowish discharge coming out of her eye. It gathers every hour or so and gathers back after we clean it off. When she sleeps and wakes up the discharge spreads to her eyelids. Should I be worried, and what do you advice?
