Patient's question:
Born with tearsDoctor's answer:
Hello, infants with blocked lacrimal glands may easily experience symptoms such as tearing. Conservative treatment can be initially adopted, such as applying antibiotic eye drops locally. The mother can massage the inner corner of the baby's eye with the palm of her fingers, pressing down, releasing, and repeating this process ten times. Then, from the inner corner of the eye, massage towards the side of the nose, moving from top to bottom, also ten times. This method is quite effective.Since there are various factors that can cause lacrimal duct blockage in children, it is essential to identify the underlying cause before treatment and follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink more water, consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, and maintain a balanced diet.
