  If you get yellow eye discharge, it is most likely that you are suffering from a type of bacterial conjunctivitis. If so, it is dangerous to the eyes. And this phenomenon won't go themselves. If you have a excessive yellow eye discharge, you'd better take the child to see their pediatrician, ophthalmologist or optometrist. They can get your eyes checked and prescribed the right medicine to help you.
