Some children have secretions from their eyes, tears and pus since they were born, and their parents think that they are not paying attention to their diet, resulting in "getting on fire". However, no matter how to adjust the diet and pay attention to hygiene, the children's eyes are still teary, and there are yellow discharge from time to time.
This condition may be nasolacrimal duct blockage, a condition commonly seen in newborns and young children that can cause excess tears in one or both eyes that run down the cheeks without flowing through the nasolacrimal ducts into the nose and throat. Usually manifested as 1A marked increase in tears, either at a certain time of the day or at a persistent rate; 2.There are scabs on the eyelids, and there may be some debris on the eyelashes that are a mixture of eye droppings and dry tears; 3.Redness of the whites of the baby's eyes; 4.Some babies have a swollen blue area between their eyes and nose, which may be blocked at both ends of the tear duct.
After coming to the hospital, we usually do a tear duct irrigation examination, on the one hand, to determine whether it is a nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and on the other hand, some babies may flush away the blocked part after irrigation. If it doesn't rinse the first time, it doesn't matter, you can choose to massage and observe, and rinse again after a while. If the symptoms do not subside at the age of 6-12 months, then you can do a tear duct exploration test, which will affect the effect after 1 year of age. This is to puncture the mucosa blocked by the nasolacrimal duct with a lacrimal probe to make the tear duct unobstructed. Although it is called a probe, its end is blunt and rounded, which will not damage the baby's tear duct, and the effect is immediate. If the tearing and pus do not improve during the observation, and the tear duct is not reduced after the tear duct is explored, and even the redness and swelling appear, then surgery is often required.
