Patient's question:
My child has one eye that always tears up, and on the white part of that eye, there's a small black spot the size of a sesame seed.What kind of help is needed: I want to know what eye condition this might be.
Doctor's answer:
Your child always has tears, which may be due to blocked lacrimal ducts. If there is also a side with less tearing that frequently has secretions, it indicates a more severe blockage. This is a common condition in infants, so you don't need to worry too much. The black spots on the white part of the eye could be a sign of your child having an upset stomach, causing conjunctival congestion, or it could also be possible that it is conjunctivitis.Advice: Based on your child's condition, it is recommended that you take your child to the ophthalmology department of a hospital to have the lacrimal glands examined multiple times to prevent inflammation.
