How is dacryocystitis treated

Patient's question:

I can't open my eyes in the morning. My eyes always tear up. There are yellow things around my eyes.

Doctor's answer:

It should be neonatal dacryocystitis. Apply Totum to the child first to reduce inflammation, and then massage the lacrimal sac (inner corner of the eye). Generally, the child's lacrimal sac will open on its own around 6 months of age. Since there are various causes that can lead to lacrimal duct blockage in children, it is essential to identify the underlying cause before treatment and follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
