Patient's question:
What are the reasons for a three-month-old baby constantly crying tears? Does it require surgery?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The baby, who is three months old, still has a persistent issue with crying tears. This started around ten days ago. When the baby was 42 days old, the doctor prescribed some eye drops, which helped improve the condition. However, after stopping the drops, the symptoms returned. The baby's grandmother, who practices massage therapy, believes it hurts the baby and has refused to apply it. Therefore, the massage has not been performed. Currently, is the massage still effective? What kind of help is desired: Can eye drops still be used now? The grandmother says they have been used for many days without effect, so she does not want to use them anymore.
Doctor's answer:
This situation may be caused by conditions such as pediatric conjunctivitis or lacrimal duct obstruction. After a thorough and detailed examination, active treatment should be initiated.Recommendations:
In daily life, maintain a proper diet and enhance care to prevent adverse impacts. For individuals infected with conjunctivitis, use medications such as neomycin, chloramphenicol, and sulfacetamide eye drops to actively suppress the infection. If the issue is lacrimal duct obstruction, consider treatments such as irrigation or surgery. Follow the guidance of clinical diagnostic physicians for specific treatment.
