My 8months boy his eyes are releasing some greenish fluid especially after sleeping. is this an eye infection what should i do?

Depends: This is often a bacterial or viral process. The viral ones would self heal over time. Wiping away the debris with a wet earbud or cloth helps. I would call the kids doc for their guidance. Some will call in antibiotic drops for infants.
