Patient's question:
12 days right eye has yellow viscous fluid oozing out, what's wrong? Born 3 days ago. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Cleaned with water for 2 days. What kind of assistance is needed: Fast, fast, fast, fast, fast...Doctor's answer:
There are two possibilities: 1 is inflammation. Using Tobermycin for a week can completely resolve it, or use Ciprofloxacin diluted with physiological saline. Apply the solution with a cotton swab, sometimes at night and sometimes in the morning. When applying the cotton swab, pay attention to the method to avoid secondary contamination. 2 is lacrimal duct obstruction. You need to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital to unblock the lacrimal duct. The massage method taught by the doctor is to gently massage from above the inner corner of the eye along the bridge of the nose downward. The eye drops used are Tobramycin (export product), which is quite effective. After massaging for three days, it was resolved. You can also have the baby undergo a lacrimal duct unblocking surgery at the hospital, but it will be very painful for the baby. It is best to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination and timely treatment. Wishing your family happiness!
