You may have jaundice if the whites of your eyes are turning yellow. It is a condition that effects your liver. When you go to the doctor he may order a blood test that checks something in your blood called billirubin. (sp?) Don't worry. You will be okay. You already said that you made an appointment to see your doctor. That is the most important. If you are that scared you can also go to an urgent care facility.

Sometimes when someone is dehydrated the whites of their eyes will take on a yellowish color.Try drinking lots of water and make sure you're eating a healthy diet.Of course you should still go see a doctor,but try not to panic,it could be serious,but more than likely it's not a big deal.

Every opening in the body produces more mucus when you are sick as a defensive mechanism, including the eyes. That is why noses run. That is normal. However, as the two ladies have already mentioned, it may also be a sign of conjunctivitis. The best thing to do would be to take her to her pediatrician to make sure that she does not have conjunctivitis. I have noticed that most patients with conjuncitivis do not complain of other symptoms other than the irritated eyes, but it's better to play it safe and go to the doctor. I would also like to mention that conjunctivitis is HIGHLY contageous. Until you can get to the doctor, treat her like she has it. Make sure that you are cleaning around her eyes with clean cloths and do not reuse them. Do not apply compresses as this may actually irritate the eyes more. Also make sure everybody washes their hands thoroughly and often. And it would probably be a good idea to isolate her from the rest of the family.

dont worry. you have to realize that the time you spend sick is so small in comparison to the time you spend healthy. You'll get through it, don't fret.
