Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. How many times can a 2-year-old child use atropine before their pupils can dilate?Doctor's answer:
Atropine can dilate the pupils, and it usually takes about 7 days. The child has crossed eyes, so it's recommended to use acupuncture treatment. Go to the acupuncture department of a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital to have the condition adjusted with acupuncture, and it will be fine. The child is in a developmental stage, so treatment must be cautious. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it's mainly due to internal heat, with an overactive liver fire. The treatment should focus on clearing heat and detoxifying, clearing the liver fire, and considering traditional Chinese medicine regulation. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
