DH and I don't have seasonal allergies so I wasn't sure. thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79190 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:41:21 +0000 MamaMoose 79190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: It could also be seasonal allergies. My husband and I both get really bad eye gunk in the morning when our allergies are flaring up. And allergy season is starting early and strong this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79175 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:35:07 +0000 Andrea 79175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@belleoftheballe: interesting, she has rubbed food in her eye recently. i have an appointment for the peds in a few hours. thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79159 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:04:01 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 79159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be an eye infection (from rubbing food in their eyes) or a blocked tear duct. My LO has dealt with both. In fact, we just finished a round of ointment to clear up an infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79114 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:38:03 +0000 Andrea 79114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: thanks! i better go get it checked out then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79083 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:07:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 79083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: it wasn't in the daytime. only after he woke up in the morning and after his nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79065 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 11:35:55 +0000 Andrea 79065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: did he have eye gunk coming out throughout the day or just draining out at night? any other symptoms? i think bacterial conjunctivitis could be a possibility...per dr. google! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79050 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 11:25:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 79050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>could be bacterial conjunctivitis? charlie had it recently. he had a fever, eye gunk, but his eyes were slightly red (barely noticeable).</p> <p>he had to get antibiotic drops and stay out of daycare for a day (where he caught it!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-waking-up-with-eye-gunk-wet-and-dry#post-79028 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:51:54 +0000 Andrea 79028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The LO has been waking up the last few days with more eye gunk than normal. There is some dried up around her eyes and then some wet ones in the corners of her eyes. It is white in color. Her eyes are not red and there is no discharge throughout the day. And no itchiness so I don't think it is pink eye. She had a slight temp of 100.3 for a few days last week so maybe this is a residual cold symptom? I've been Googling and people say it's another way of mucus coming out when you have a cold. Has anyone ever seen this? </p>
