My 3 year old son suddenly has dime sized yellowish/greenish eye boogers coming out of 1 eye. His eye is not blood shot and hes not rubbing it. He s been his normal little self. Any suggestions what this could be and possible causes? Allergies maybe, but allergic to what?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Allergies are more commonly associated with a history of itching of the affected area, in this case the eyes. Since he is not rubbing them or not complaining of itching then it is not likely due to allergies. The symptoms are more likely related to infection. Viral infection of the eyes is common, so this is possible. This is treated by eye hygiene. If it is a bacterial infection then antibacterial Chat Doctor. It would be best to take him to the doctor for assessment if symptoms worsen or do not improve. I hope this helps
