Patient's question:
The baby is now 91 days old with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. I want to take the child to the children's hospital for a nasolacrimal duct probing. Is it okay to do it after the child is 3 months old, or must it be after 4 months? How much does the nasolacrimal duct probing cost approximately?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, regarding the child's condition, if it is congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, it is necessary to check the severity. If it is relatively severe, it is better to have the child undergo the procedure when they are a bit older. If the symptoms are severe, with frequent tearing, it is recommended to have the child undergo a lacrimal duct dilation procedure. If it is not too severe, this dilation procedure is relatively simple and does not cost much.
