The ophthalmologist, the pediatrician, and the neonatologist are the ones who usually treat neonatal conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye that appears in the first days of a newborn's life.
Common symptoms: redness of the eyes, swelling of the eyelids, and eye discharge.
Common causes: It may be due to various factors, among them infectious or irritant agents that affect the baby's eyes in the first weeks.
