Patient's question:
Hello, I have a newborn baby at home who has a lot of yellow eye discharge and tears. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the baby's condition, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is a blocked lacrimal duct. If there is a blocked lacrimal duct, eye drops need to be used for the baby. Do not use ignorant methods like dropping milk; this is very harmful to the baby's eyes. Personally, I suggest going to the local hospital's pediatric ophthalmology department for a face-to-face examination and thorough check-up. After a clear diagnosis, lacrimal duct irrigation can be performed, followed by applying anti-inflammatory medication for treatment, which can help alleviate the symptoms.
