Patient's question:
Dr. Li, hello, my baby's eyes are always watery, and the water that comes out is sticky when wiped on my hands. What's going on? Also, there are some pale white substances, similar to mucus. There are quite a lot of them.Doctor's answer:
Hello: If a child frequently has watery eyes or excessive eye discharge, parents should perform moderate massage on the lacrimal sac area on the side of the child's nose bridge in a top-down order each day. During the massage, press the thumb firmly against the skin and apply gentle force to the lacrimal sac area. Do this 2 to 4 times a day.Recommendation: If the massage is not effective, the child should be taken to the hospital for lacrimal duct irrigation. If the condition still does not improve, it is important to undergo lacrimal duct probing as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may lead to inflammation around the lacrimal sac or the formation of a lacrimal fistula. A lacrimal fistula is not only difficult to treat completely but may also affect appearance.
