Symptoms of neonatal dacryocystitis?

Patient's question:

My child has been experiencing frequent tearing recently. What are the symptoms of neonatal dacryocystitis?

Doctor's answer:

Newborn conjunctivitis has many symptoms, but it is also easily overlooked by many parents. First, there is a lot of tears. Second, when you close your eyes, there will be a lot of thick yellow discharge. There is also the possibility of acute conjunctivitis, which can cause the eyes to swell and become red and swollen. Once bacteria enter the brain, it can lead to meningitis, and if it enters the orbit, it can cause orbital cellulitis.
