Patient's question:
The little baby is 13 days old, and there is eye discharge from the left eye every day. What could be the reason? If anyone knows, please tell me a few times, thank you. The left eye had eye discharge from the very first day of birth. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: No specific treatment has been provided. The assistance needed: I want to know how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Babies who cry tears or have tears accompanied by eye discharge are commonly seen in the following situations: Babies simply crying tears, especially excessive crying tears, are often due to blocked lacrimal ducts. Tears accompanied by eye discharge but without redness in the eyes are also commonly due to blocked lacrimal ducts. If a baby has tears and eye discharge with red eyes, consider that the baby may have developed conjunctivitis again, which indicates an abnormality. If a baby has tears accompanied by eye discharge and is rubbing their eyes, it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of foreign objects, such as cotton fibers.
