Hello, thank you for your question!
For now, a clean towel wet with warm water should be used to clean the area. In the vast majority of cases, this type of symptom goes away on its own
Given the age of your baby, you should consult a doctor if the symptoms do not diminish or worsen within 3 days.
I hope I've been helpful, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me

he's not as bad this morning. he's still swollen, but there's no more discharge. i'll continue to monitor him closely and if it's still there in 3 days or if it gets worse, i'll consult his doctor
thank you very much
