Patient's question:
How to handle eye discharge in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the child's condition, the possibility of conjunctivitis is high. The child's condition is likely due to amniotic fluid irritation in the womb. There is a lot of discharge from the eyes, mostly due to conjunctival inflammation. Use children's eye drops to apply to the eyes, 3 to 4 times a day. Additionally, pay attention to whether there is dacryocystitis. The lacrimal sac is located at the lower corner of the eye. Press it with your little finger to see if you can squeeze out secretions. Massage frequently from the inner corner of the eye towards the nostril to facilitate the unobstructed flow of the nasolacrimal duct. Specific diagnosis and treatment must be carried out at the hospital under the guidance of a doctor! I hope my answer can help you. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
