My 18 month old daughter had her adenoid & tonsils removed on Tuesday. (It is now Saturday.) They kept her in the hospital 2 days due to breathing difficulties & her refusal to drink. My concern now is that she has either picked up a cold on top of her recovery or she has some kind of infection. She s been on an antibiotic for the last 12 days so I don t understand how she could possibly have an infection, but she has so much thick, yellow/green drainage coming from her eyes & nose. Whenever she sleeps she wakes up unable to open her eyes. I wish I had a way to email you a picture.. They are glued completely shut from drainage. Is this normal? Should I be concerned only 4 days out from her surgery & at what point should I worry? I ve put on her cool mist humidifier, I ve used warm washcloths as a compress on her forehead & sinuses. Her ENT says she has either caught a cold or it s just the drainage from behind her large adenoid that was removed. I just want to get her some relief.. What can I do?
The eye infection should be managed properly with two types of antibiotics fucithalmic Chat Doctor.
