Thanks doc!

Yesterday, I have tried terramycin opthalmic ointment but its still the same. I'll bring her to our pedia when I'll have my day off as im very busy with work ately. For now, is it okay to keep using terramycin ointment or should I use another product for this?

This is common in a newborn due to lack of complete development of the drainage system in the eye.  You should consult your pediatrician.  If more than usual, you may get a referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist.
