Sticky eyes
Hiiii....my daughter is 6 years old...Today,my daughter woke up this morning with her eyes stuck shut due to a yellow discharge. I cleaned her eyes with warm water. After cleaning, she felt her vision was blurry, but it became normal after blinking for a minute. Why did this discharge happen suddenly? Is there anything to worry about? We haven’t shown her to a doctor yet. Please tell me whether we should consult a doctor or if it will get better on its own...

Its is most probably bacterial conjunctivitis.
You should maintain her lid hygiene.
Use antibiotic eyedrops.
Wash her hand frequently as can spread.
But nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
Consult an ophthalmologist (online or offline)

It's mainly conjunctivitis which is common in this season. Use tobramycin eye drops four times a day and keep the eye clean. Visit ophthalmologist for a complete eye examination as early as possible. Also everyone in house should maintain proper hand hygiene so that spread can be prevented.
