Green eye crispies!

[mamasaurus]

You guys, should I call the doctor? Is it infected? Her eyelashes on one side have green crispies, and there is a little in the corner, too. It doesn't look red or irritated, she isn't rubbing it, and nothing fresh is coming out of it. I see no green crispies where she was sleeping. It is only on one side.

I see 15 of you on the board now! Weigh in one these eye crispies!

Sorry, I have no idea. I was just opening this so I could know what to do when it happens to me! ;P

And for some reason, I thought this was about cereal at first.

Lincoln's are sometime yellowish but never green. I would call in and ask a nurse, it couldn't hurt!

It wouldn't hurt to call. A sometimes gets it if she's snotty. I'd only be concerned if you wipe them away and then they return. THEN, it's probably conjunctivitis

When G had bacterial pink eye, he had a lot of green discharge, enough so that it was causing his eyes to stick shut. His eyes were also red and swollen. If there are just a few things on his eye lids, I would try a warm compress and keep an eye on it, but call the dr if it gets worse.

PIP.
H had a lot of conjunctivitis as a toddler. I thought it was hoop the first time, wiped it, and sent her to school where she was quickly returned to me. I felt like a moron.

B gets crispies from time to time. I never knew I should keep an eye on them.... (did I just make a pun?)

[jaime183]

we were told if his actual eye isn't red then it's just drainage- like snot and to wipe it away with a warm washcloth.
it was the start of a nasty virus for us though

Madison had that. Usually just viral. Use a warm compress and clean from inside of eye (by nose) outwards. I can't remember if you BF? Squirt her in the eye with BM! That's what I do.

I would call the doctor. When DS & DD had conjunctivitis, their eyes were not pink/red at all...it was just green goopy stuff.

Yes, yes, I forgot, squirt in eye immediately!

My husband does not understand that breastmilk fixes SO many things!

Maybe you should squirt him in the eye.
