Patient's question:
Medical Description: The baby has been crying since birth at 5 months old. The lacrimal duct probing was done on August 12th, but there are still tears and eye discharge. What should I do? Is it because it wasn't done properly?History of Treatment and Effect: The lacrimal duct probing was done on August 12th, but there are still tears and eye discharge.
Help Needed: Will there still be symptoms of crying and eye discharge after the lacrimal duct probing? What should be done to eliminate these symptoms?
Doctor's answer:
It's not a big deal, you can wait a bit longer to see the time. When my son was little and had a blocked lacrimal duct, it gradually improved around the age of four or five months. Since the baby's duct has been cleared, it's not a big concern. The doctor said it's already open, so the mom can still wait a few more days. Make sure to give the baby enough water to prevent any signs of heatiness. If the condition persists, it's still advisable to follow up with the doctor to check if it hasn't fully recovered.
