  • What causes yellow discharge from the eyes?

    Yellow discharge is often a sign of inflammation and possible eye infection, such as conjunctivitis. However if your daughter is an infant it could be due to a blocked tear duct, a condition that often resolves on its own. If your child is older than 1 year or if the discharge is abundant or accompanied by eye redness or signs of illness, your child should be seen by your doctor. Hope this helps! READ MORE
