Patient's question:
My baby is three and a half months old. His right eye always tears up, and his eye sockets are always wet. There's no discharge, redness, or any signs of wind blowing into his eyes. I can't see anything inside his eye, but he just keeps tearing up. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. Based on the situation you described, the first thing to consider is the possibility of trichiasis. It's quite common in babies, where the lower eyelid's eyelashes turn inward, towards the eye, causing tearing. Another possibility is conjunctivitis, in which case Tobradex eye drops can be used. This is the advice for the question "My baby is three and a half months old, and his right eye always tears and the eye socket is always wet." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
