A member asked:

My baby has had a watery eye for a week now and yesterday started getting yellow stuff, i have been using a ointment (chloramex ophthalmic ointment) that i have received when she was younger when her eye did the same thing, what can i do now?

Probably viral: Most eye infections are caused by viruses which do not respond to antibiotic ointments. The discharge may last 5-7 days and will then clear on its own. See a Dr for swelling that surrounds the eye, or worsening symptoms.
