Patient's question:
My male baby was 18 days old when he visited the Provincial Children's Hospital due to excessive eye discharge. The doctor prescribed Tobramycin eye drops. It has been over 20 days since he started using the medication, and the eye discharge has disappeared. However, his left eye does not produce tears even when he cries, while his right eye produces a lot of tears. What could be the reason for this? How should it be treated? Will it improve on its own by the age of 3 months? Please advise!Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is still recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the problem of blocked lacrimal sac. In addition to symptomatic treatment for pediatric lacrimal duct obstruction, patients need to consult experts for more advice and maintain communication with doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so as to achieve good therapeutic effects.
