What Does Sticky White Discharge From The Eyes Indicate?

I have a white sticky substance coming from the corner of my eye. It is my left eye, the white puss comes from the corner of my eye by my temple. I have tried eye wash, sty cream and antibiotic eye drops. I ve had this for over a month now. When I wake up, my eye is stuck shut and I have to pry it open.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think you are having an eye infection or conjunctivitis.
Taking antibiotics drops and corticosteroid drops is advisable.
If it doesn't get better from antibiotics drops it can be viral and can last for up to 6 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
