Patient's question:
The child is three and a half months old. Since birth, there has been excessive tear production in the left eye, accompanied by a small amount of eye discharge. It has been diagnosed as a blocked lacrimal duct.Doctor's answer:
Before performing probing, I usually recommend that parents first massage the lacrimal sac for their child. The method is: using the thumb to press firmly from the inner corner of the eye along the bridge of the nose down to the side of the nose, five times a day, each time with five presses.
