What Causes Yellow Eye Discharge?
hi- i am snowed in and my 3 1/2 year old is having some yellowish eye discharge. It is not crusted nor is it bloodshot but this is the first time I have ever seen him have any discharge. It started in one eye and now is in both but seems mild. Any ideas what it could be? Should I try and treat it?

it is a bacterial or viral , or allergic infestation. you have not mentioned about pain itching or other symptoms. to clarify yellow coloration of discharge you can have your liver function done if every thing is normal then need not worry
