Patient's question:
My male baby was 18 days old when he visited the Provincial Children's Hospital due to excessive eye discharge. The doctor prescribed Tobramycin eye drops, and now it has been more than 20 days since he started using the medication. The eye discharge has disappeared, but his left eye does not produce tears even when he cries, while his right eye produces a lot of tears. What could be the reason for this? How should it be treated? Will it improve on its own by 3 months? Please advise!Doctor's answer:
Hello: You should still go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the problem of blocked lacrimal sac.
