A member asked:
When i give my child allergy meds, his eyes have a yellow discharge and get swollen, is this normal?

No: This is an atypical response. The point of allergy medications is to provide relief. In your child's case, they appear to be making things worse. Your doctor needs to explore why and to consider other therapies.
