My daughter born on April 29 seems to have an infection in her right eye. The eyelid is red and more swollen. It also makes secretions. What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

In a situation like this, it is best to consult a doctor. I recommend that you first call the hospital where you gave birth and ask to speak to the doctors in charge of the delivery floor. A doctor on call may be able to see you quickly.

If that doesn't work, you should still see a doctor. Since the pandemic is causing great challenges at the doctor's office, perhaps you could try services such as Hello Health or Maple if your doctor cannot see you within a week.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help at this time. The most important thing is that she be seen by a doctor by noon tomorrow.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
