Patient's question:
Born with frequent eye discharge, later started tearing, and in recent days, the tearing has become severe. The corners of the eyes are slightly red. I am now four months and seven days old. I want to know what to do.Doctor's answer:
The first possibility is conjunctivitis, which may reoccur in this situation. For treatment, antibiotic eye drops are used, approximately four times a day. Another possibility could be a blocked tear duct, which is more complicated and requires a visit to the hospital to clean and check if the tear duct is unobstructed. If the baby is constantly tearing due to a blocked tear duct, but your baby is not crying now, it may be the first case, which is conjunctivitis.
