Patient's question:
My baby just came home, my child has developed neonatal dacryocystitis. Will this disease heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
It's not that it can't be done, but it's rarely the case. Neonatal dacryocystitis is mostly congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Dacryocystitis is an infection that requires timely treatment, otherwise it can lead to serious consequences. Neonatal dacryocystitis is a secondary infection caused by factors such as embryonic remnants at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct that have not degenerated, obstruction at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct, retention of lacrimal fluid, and bacteria in the lacrimal sac. Neonatal dacryocystitis is a relatively common eye disease, characterized by frequent tearing in the baby's eyes.
