Patient's question:
Doctor, my three-year-old baby's eyes have been blocked by the lacrimal duct after suffering from conjunctivitis. How can I fix it? He had conjunctivitis for about a week, and then it went away, but the blockage in the lacrimal duct caused by the conjunctivitis hasn't improved. What can I do to make it better?Doctor's answer:
Considering the case where chronic inflammation leads to blocked lacrimal glands, surgery may be required to resolve the issue. Lacrimal canal dilation can be used for this purpose. After the surgery, routine anti-inflammatory treatment measures should be taken. During this period, the child's diet should be light, gentle, and include plenty of warm water, fresh vegetables, and fruits to supplement vitamins. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods. Rest is also important, and normal activities can usually be resumed after about a week.
