Dexter's left eye was watery literally as soon as he was born, we questioned it and the midwife just told us to bathe it in cool boiled water, which we did.
When the HV came around it was still watery, was told the very same thing which we were still doing, at his injections kept asking about it, I got him weighed a few weeks ago and was told the exact same thing.
Well it's still doing it and yesterday started to look red and sore in the outside corner (iykwim) so I decided to take him to the doctors and finally get an answer. The doctor told me that he has a blocked tear duct and because he has a cold he now has an infection (conjunctivitis) which is why its watery/sticky so prescribed eye drops and anti b's. I didnt accept that and said that he has has it since birth and surely it should of corrected itself by now, he has said to give him til march and if it's still the same then go back and they will refer him.
I'm peeved really as hes had to put up with this for nearly 9 months now, and it does irritate him - when he wakes up in the morning his eye is caked in it
Has anyone else's LO had this before?
