Seeking Moms Advice That Have Been Through This with There Own Children

It's now 3 am. I hope he's asleep. Green discharge from the eyes sometimes happen with an upper respiratory infection. This is a virus. There is nothing the doctor can do. I suggest talking with the nurse before taking him in. Consider that wbile you wait in the waiting room you are exposing other's to this virus. Also going just adds to your child's discomfort. Discharge is a normal reaction to an upper respiratory infection and is just one of those things we accept as part of an infection. I have had this happen to me.

Using a warm wet wash cloth gently wipe away this discharge may help. Continue to do as the doctor suggested during your last appointment.

I really miss the wisdom moms that we gained from our moms while growing up in the 50's and 60's. Used to be we knew that very few infections needed a doctor's visit. we learned from our moms how to deal with it. suggest that insurance and too much information has caused all too many doctor visits. Life happens. We are often not in control of it. Many things including discomfort has to be accepted as a part of life. We learn to accept what happens as a way to make us stronger. Your child is OK. He just has an upper respiratory infection. If his body has not fought the infection off in a few weeks that is the time to see the doctor.

It sounds like the cold was passed to his eyes. Conjunctivitis. My son has that too. He had a cold for days and then it caused viral pink eye. We have been helping with the pain using warm rags as compresses and some pain reliever. He had it pretty bad yesterday, but today his eye looks so much better. There isn't much they can do if it's a virus, so I'd wait it out a little. For bacterial eye infections they will give drops, but since your little one had a cold first, it's probably related to that virus.

a green discharge from the eye is clear sign of an infection,take a peppermint or spearmint or green tea, tea bag , put it in a coffee cup filled with water, nuke it for 30 seconds, then take the tea bag out of the cup, wrap it in a clean cloth and place it over the eye until the tea bag cools, repeat several times with a new tea bag, this should clear up the infection, but will definitely clear up the itching and redness, then go to the doctor..K. h.

Goo has to get out some avenue. Either down the throat, out the ears (ear infection), the nose, or out the eyes. He needs an antibiotic for sure and I'd say some sort of X-ray or scan to see what's going on in his head/sinuses.
