Patient's question:
Daughter has had a lot of eye discharge from her left eye since birth, accompanied by sticky tears. It has been more than two months with no improvement. When taking her for a physical examination, I consulted the doctor. The doctor suggested trying chloramphenicol eye drops first. Now, more than a week has passed, and there is still no effect.What kind of help is needed: Please ask the doctor, what is wrong with my daughter's eye and what treatment should be done!
Doctor's answer:
Your daughter's condition is likely due to blocked lacrimal ducts, which have triggered conjunctivitis. I recommend using acupressure on your baby. Start from the inner corner of the eye and press horizontally downward along the direction of the lacrimal duct until you reach the sides of the nose. Perform the acupressure 20 times each session, twice a day. The technique should not be too forceful—apply gentle pressure. Discharge is a symptom of inflammation. You can use ofloxacin eye drops or fish oil eye drops for your baby. Both are effective.
