What is the reason why a child's eyes keep leaking tears intermittently?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, my baby is almost six months old, and his eyes keep leaking tears from time to time. Is this a disease? Is it necessary to treat it promptly? What are the methods of treatment? Is it suitable for the baby to be treated now because he is too young?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, children's eyes often tear up for no reason. Yes, it may be a disease related to ophthalmic problems. It is recommended that you take your child to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for a detailed examination. Based on the specific situation, appropriate medication treatment can be used. If the condition is not severe, treatment can be performed. If the condition has been prolonged and has repeatedly been ineffective, surgical treatment should be considered. Currently, in clinical practice, and nasal anastomosis surgery are used. The surgery is very safe and postoperative recurrence is not easy.
