3 month old...eye has goop and redness?
Answer:
yes. i kept thinking it was pink eye. took her a couple times to the drs. her doc told me each time it was an under developed tear duct. it would tear and turn to goop. she showed me a massage exercise to do to the eye several times a day. if this didn't work there were drops available for it. the exercise ended up working. it did take awhile though.
exercise: with your ring finger, gently push from the end of her eye (by the ear) to the tear duct over and over.
also keep it clean.
i would still take her in case pink eye developed after her last appt. better safe than sorry. good luck.
Could be a clogged tear duct or pink eye. If it is pink eye she probably got it from someone holding her or just touching her (like at a store) the dr. will give you eyedrops for this . It is very contagious so be clean with it.
If it is a clogged tear duct or imature tear duct it will correct itself.
But it really sounds like pink eye.
Good Luck and hurry up to the doctor it can get painful it is very itchy.

Our two daughters had this both it was a clogged tear duct.
Massage it on the little part of her nose to the side you can take a q tip to the side of the area too and gently apply pressure or a wash cloth after the bath - the area is directly to the side of the top of her nose (or the corner of her eye near the nose) - and you can get some drops too - bring this up to the nurse at your peds office if they feel it's urgent they will have you seen or show you how to massage her eyes. Use pure and mild baby products to wash her face/body and hair.
Sounds like conjuntivitis. The doctor can give you a prescription for eye drops. Vigamox has worked well for my children, but I can't recall if any of them used it when they were babies.
