Hi,
Our three year old has a cold, but normally, he doesn't have mucus in his eyes. This time, every hour or so, we see 2 or 3 nuggets of white mucus in his eyes. Whey he wakes up, he has like 5 of them. It is now in both of his eyes. We have never seen this before, what could it be?

get ur kid checked up.

there could be many causes.
if along with mucus ur kid has irritation of eye, reddeningand pain sumtimes then it is conjunctivitis.

it may be conjunctivitis which will need a treatment.
It is highly contagious and can be passed by hand-to-eye contact, as well as from one eye to the other, and even by way of towels. it could be bacterial, viral, or allergic conjunctivitis, or something less common.
Conjunctivitis usually clears up in a few days to a week with treatment. Of course, viral conjunctivitis will clear up by itself.
cold water soaks can be relieving.
use cotton balls to wipe eyes, wiping away from the direction of nose to the outside of the face, and use a fresh cotton ball for each eye.

If he's got a cold, he's making mucus everywhere. You can try controlling it yourself with a warm washcloth (it will soften the mucus and make it easier to remove) or warm chamomile tea bags (which are slightly disinfectant). NOT hot, and if his eyes get red or worse, don't use the teabags.

It will take awhile to fix this way -- if you are in a hurry, see an eye doctor, and they will prescribe some drops that will cure it overnight. I wouldn't worry, though, unless he acts like his eyes are itchy, or you notice him squinting. Then you should definitely see a doctor.

i think of the coaching equipment is taking too far with infant. he's a newborn and he's doing great already! maximum young little ones do no longer methods to examine or do something considerable in college till they're in first grade. it is the reason Kindergarden became so exciting! we've instructors and coaching systems looking forward to the impossible. he's basically 3 and a a million/2 years previous! the reality that he performs with different teenagers and talks is excellent. he's on the point he's meant to be at. I examine that ADHD and upload is a BS prognosis as a results of fact the lecturers declare some pupils are those issues and then the college gets greater money in step with newborn with that prognosis as a results of fact now they become "particular desires" little ones. study that and see the fake truths approximately that so as that they are in a position to get money for his or her colleges. do no longer provide him ANY Meds. despite if it is that undesirable...take him out of the college in case you could and deliver him returned in while he's 5 like maximum teenagers who're waiting to learn at that age. i did no longer circulate to college till i became 5. it is no longer organic to start college at 3 besides!!!
