What should I do if a newborn has a lot of eye discharge?

Patient's question:

How to deal with excessive eye discharge in newborns

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:
I. Lacrimal Duct Pressure Irrigation (performed by a specialized doctor or nurse).
II. Lacrimal Duct Probing.
III. After the doctor has taught you, family members can press the lacrimal sac at home, causing pus from the lacrimal sac to flow towards the nasolacrimal duct. In this way, due to the force of the pus flowing, the septum within the nasolacrimal duct is flushed open, and the condition can be cured. The cause of this condition is the failure of the septum of the nasolacrimal duct to disappear at birth. The first two methods are also intended to flush open or probe open the septum.
IV. After the above treatments, a considerable number of children can be cured. If it is still not better, nasal lacrimal sac anastomosis, lacrimal sac catheterization, etc., can be considered during childhood or later.
V. Applying various anti-inflammatory eye drops frequently also helps prevent the lacrimal sac inflammation from worsening.
