I called her pediatrician who said the sinuses will back up into the eyes. If she is still crusty/nasty tomorrow he will be seeing her at 7:15am. For now he said nasal saline and warm compress is the way to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266469 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:10:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 266469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happened a lot with Wagon Jr. when he was slightly sick or congested, especially because his bottom lashes stuck up and into his eyeballs. I would just do a warm compress or wipe with warm water to get it open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266414 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:33:47 +0000 Pipers Mommy 266414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had this and 3 days later it was double ear infections. I didn't know that her eye could be the sign of an ear infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266343 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 09:30:15 +0000 Nskillet 266343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: thanks for this! Like I said the eye isn't red like its infected it's almost like her congestion has backed up into her eye like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266324 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 09:19:22 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 266324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As an adult I get this allll the time..it's horrible when I'm sick. I have super moist and teary eyes as it is-let alone when I sneeze or yawn...then my tears just flow! And I wake up with one eyes sealed shut a lot....I think/thought is was totally normal. Annoying but normal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266270 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 08:26:16 +0000 Nskillet 266270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I plan to call if not improved by this evening. My ped has walk in hours each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266245 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 08:00:04 +0000 purrpletulips 266245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had this and it was pink eye caused by an ear infection (ultimately led to tubes being inserted). I'd at least call your ped and run the symptoms by them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266242 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:57:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 266242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the mean time, just keep using a warm wash cloth to carefully wipe the eye. I also massaged the nose bridge a bit to loosen things up for her. I think hers went away within 24-48 hours and we never saw a dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266238 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:51:51 +0000 mamimami 266238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard people swear by it! I mean, you may still need meds but it can't hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266236 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:48:54 +0000 Nskillet 266236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've stopped breastfeeding but still can get milk if I hand express. Maybe I will try this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266233 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:44:59 +0000 mamimami 266233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are breastfeeding put some breast milk in the eye. It could be pinkeye.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266219 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:18:55 +0000 Andrea 266219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had goopy eyes and she had an eye infection so I would take your LO in to see the peds just to be sure. Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goopy-eye-sealed-shut#post-266216 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:14:25 +0000 Nskillet 266216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 4 month old has a cold and this AM woke up with her left eye sealed shut. I put a warm compress and the eye opened just fine. It isn't red or irritated so I assume this is just a blocked tear duct/cold of the eyes? I havent called the pediatrician yet as I'm observing her. She is very congested and does have a cold.</p> <p>Anyone else experience this? </p>
