Patient's question:
NasalDoctor's answer:
Dear Parent,Nasolacrimal duct obstruction can sometimes be cleared through massage or irrigation, but in some cases, surgery is necessary. If your baby has already undergone conservative treatment without significant improvement, prolonged symptoms may lead to many complications. Therefore, it is still recommended to consider early surgery to resolve the issue, which can be done as early as a few months after birth.
Since there are various causes for nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children, it is essential to identify the underlying reason before treatment to ensure targeted and effective intervention. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is advisable to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
