Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The baby's eyes have discharge, which is a mild infectious eye disease. First, it may be caused by contact with bacteria-containing vaginal secretions during delivery, contamination of the hands of the delivery attendant, or exposure to unclean items after birth, leading to inflammation of the baby's conjunctiva and causing excessive, thick discharge. Second, in some children, the lacrimal duct may be blocked by remnants of epithelial cells or the mucous membrane of the lacrimal duct may be closed, causing tears and secretions in the lacrimal passage to accumulate in the lacrimal sac, leading to lacrimal sac inflammation. In such cases, the affected child has a cystic swelling at the lacrimal sac, which appears slightly bluish. If the inner part of the lacrimal sac area is gently pressed, mucous or mucopurulent discharge can be expelled, and the swelling will disappear.
