3 month old...eye has goop and redness?

Hi, a few weeks ago my 3 month old daughter started getting this wet boogery stuff coming out of just her left eye...it would come and go differnet parts of the day...ive taken her to the doctor 2 times and of course both times i went there her eye isnt goopy...so they can't look at it. Now the white of her eye is starting to get a tint of red (actually it looks red as in a stoners eyes). the right eye looks perfect. But her left eye is getting worse? I do plan to take her into the doctor again this week, but has anyone had a similar experience??

yes. i kept thinking it was pink eye. took her a couple times to the drs. her doc told me each time it was an under developed tear duct. it would tear and turn to goop. she showed me a massage exercise to do to the eye several times a day. if this didn't work there were drops available for it. the exercise ended up working. it did take awhile though.

exercise: with your ring finger, gently push from the end of her eye (by the ear) to the tear duct over and over.

also keep it clean.

i would still take her in case pink eye developed after her last appt. better safe than sorry. good luck.
