Patient's question:
The baby is three weeks old and has had blocked lacrimal ducts. It has been cleaned twice, but the doctor said it still hasn't opened. The doctor mentioned that if it doesn't open by four and a half months, surgery will be necessary. I would like to understand what the impact on the baby's future would be if surgery is not performed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, lacrimal duct obstruction may lead to recurrent chronic dacryocystitis if the second-grade neuron develops a lacrimal sac abscess. This can result in a large number of bacteria accumulating in the lacrimal sac, causing significant harm to the eye. Since the baby has a weak immune system, it is recommended to address the issue as early as possible. If surgery is not performed, the harm to the baby would also be considerable. The above advice is for the question "Baby's lacrimal duct obstruction for three consecutive 23 days, has been cleaned twice, but the doctor." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
