The child has been crying with tears and eye discharge since birth.

Patient's question:

Born until now, there has always been tears, except for tears in the eyes. I hope the doctor can take a look at what the symptoms are? About the past treatment and its effects: none of them cared about any assistance: I can assist the baby to recover completely

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of the child, it is considered possible to have neonatal dacryocystitis. This condition is most commonly caused by the failure of the embryonic remnant membrane at the lower end of the lacrimal duct to atrophy after the child is born, or by the blockage of the lower end of the lacrimal duct due to epithelial cell debris, leading to the accumulation of tears and bacteria in the lacrimal sac and resulting in secondary infection.
Recommendation: It is advised to visit an ophthalmologist at the hospital. If the child experiences recurring tearing, purulent discharge, and an increase in secretions after birth, local antibiotic eye drops can be applied first. If, after one week, the clinical symptoms do not improve and a hard lump persists in the lacrimal area, neonatal dacryocystitis should be considered.
