Patient's question:
When my baby was born, one of his eyes was stuck with eye discharge and remained closed. During daily care, we only cleaned the outside of his eyes. By the eighth day, his eye still hadn't opened, so we gently forced it open and cleaned out the discharge inside. However, compared to the other eye, it was noticeably smaller. Now, at three and a half months, the difference is still very apparent. I don't know if it will correct itself over time, whether surgery is necessary, or which hospital would be the best to go to for this.Doctor's answer:
Hello. In this case, it is best to take the child to an ophthalmology department in a hospital with Class III A or higher for an examination to rule out congenital upper eyelid ptosis. The doctor will provide a tailored solution plan based on the child's specific condition. Pay attention to the hygiene of the child's eyes in daily life. Frequently wash and disinfect daily items. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my baby's eyes are stuck closed with eye discharge?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
