Yellow discharge from both eyes with a cold is commonly due to Conjunctivitis (often viral or bacterial), so keep your eyes clean by gently wiping with clean cotton and warm water, avoid touching or rubbing, and wash hands frequently to prevent spread. If discharge is heavy, eyes are very red, painful, or vision is affected, consult a doctor for proper treatment.

In a 7-day-old baby, a sticky eye is most commonly due to Blocked tear duct, which is usually harmless and improves with gentle care, you can clean the eye with sterile cotton dipped in warm water and gently massage the inner corner of the eye (near the nose) 2?3 times daily. Keep the area clean and avoid using any drops unless prescribed. If there is redness, swelling, yellow pus, or fever, consult a pediatrician as it may need treatment.
