What is the reason for the child's red eyes and tears?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my child is three years and two months old. Previously, a small bump appeared on the upper eyelid, which contained pus. It was removed, and now it has healed. However, the child's eyes are still red and tearing. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it might be caused by a stye. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's ophthalmology department for a check-up. If necessary, incision and drainage can be performed. At the same time, antibiotic eye drops and antibiotic ointment should be given for symptomatic treatment. It is essential to ensure the child drinks more water, eats less sweet food and junk food, pays attention to eye hygiene, and washes hands frequently. Generally, a few days of using eye drops should be sufficient to recover.
