Patient's question:
Symptom Description: The baby has been crying since birth at 5 months old. The lacrimal duct probing was done on August 12th, but there are still tears and eye discharge. What should I do? Did it not work?Past Treatment and Effect: The lacrimal duct probing was done on August 12th, but there are still tears and eye discharge.
Desired Help: Will tears and eye discharge still appear after lacrimal duct probing? What should I do to make them disappear?
Doctor's answer:
It's not a big deal, you can wait a bit longer to see the time. When my son was young, if he had blocked nasolacrimal duct, it gradually improved around four or five months. Since the baby's already unclogged, it's not a big concern. The doctor said it's already open, so the mom can still wait a few more days. Make sure to give the baby enough water and prevent any signs of heatiness. If it still persists, it's advisable to follow up with the doctor to check if it hasn't fully recovered.
