Patient's question:
My son is two months old and has had eye discharge since the thirteenth day of his birth, and it hasn't improved until now. I've seen a doctor, and they prescribed eye drops, but they haven't helped either. What should I do if the eye drops aren't working? Help me come up with a solution.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, here is the explanation: The most common condition in children is infant tear duct obstruction or narrowing, which manifests as frequent tearing, severe discharge with many eye boogers, even sticking eyelids together. One possible reason could be that the child is covered too much, making it easier for eye discharge to accumulate. It is recommended to use a clean towel to gently wipe and provide the baby with plenty of boiled water. If this persists, it is important to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination to prevent the possibility of infection or inflammation. Wishing the baby good health.
