Patient's question:
My baby has been having yellow discharge in the corners of their eyes recently. Can the tear ducts be flushed? Can the tear ducts be wiped?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: It may be due to congenital developmental issues causing the tear duct to become blocked, which has led to the recurrence of symptoms of dacryocystitis. It is recommended to clean the baby's eyes. If the condition is not stable, it may be necessary to consider performing a tear duct dilation procedure, which can fundamentally treat the child's current condition. The main symptoms of tear duct blockage are tearing. If the baby has such symptoms, it is important to consider this possibility.
