Patient's question:
22-month-old child~ Dragged by our local hospital~ Went 3-4 times and said it might get better~ Told us to use eye drops and massage~ Now said the child is older~ Suggested we go to a specialized big hospital~ Also said things like general anesthesia~ Heard it and felt unreliable~Doctor's answer:
22 months of surgery requires general anesthesia, which is also good for the child. The total cost is around 3,000, and it will take about 3-5 days. Adults only need local anesthesia. But if the child is not cooperative, general anesthesia is the best.First, bring the child to the hospital for a check-up to see if the lacrimal duct is unobstructed, and then determine if surgery is needed.
There are many reasons that can cause lacrimal duct blockage in children, so it is essential to identify the cause before treatment to adopt a targeted approach for effective results. Additionally, daily care measures are also necessary. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-protective foods.
