2019-02-10 03:49:37
My son is 18 days old. The problem is that he has small pink dots on both eyelids. For that doctor suggested Ciplox drops. Now he always have sticky eyes. After power nap he can't open his eyes but after cleaning it is ok. But the discharge is thick and yellow. Today I see water in his left eyes. What to do now ?
