A member asked:
My son is 3 weeks old & his right eye keeps getting these yellow crusties on it & it keeps watering like he's crying tears. what could it be i wipe it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasolacrimal duct: stenosis or blocked tear duct. The tear duct can have a thin membrane blocking it so tears run down the face and lots of crusties develop. Your doctor can show you how to massage the duct and you can clean the eyes with clean water on a cotton ball. It usually resolves by 6 months and if not can be treated with a simple surgery, If red eyes, swelling or change in DC see doctor
