Infant with pinkeye?

Question

Does this look like pinkeye? He was passed around a lot on thanksgiving & he woke up with this discharge all day. He’s 1 month old
UPDATE: it was pinkeye! Thank you all for commenting.

Answer

To me it looks like a clogged tear duct. It's normal for infants to get them. Take him to the doctor and if the doctor thinks it's bad enough he will either give you drops or ointment. Try gently massaging under his eye and you can use a wet q tip to get that goup off.

Answer

Yes I’m my sons eye looked exactly like that when he had pink eye. I would take him in and get some drops. It clears up pretty fast- even after 1-2 rounds of drops my son woke from a nap and it was looking better. It’s highly contagious though so wash your hands every time u touch him.

Answer

It could very well be. Definitely get him checked out. Pinkeye is very contagious so make sure that whoever is caring for him washes their hands after touching him to reduce the risk of spreading it.
