Question
Do babies who often cry need medication?
Answer
Newborns often cry due to nasal duct obstruction, where the lacrimal duct opening’s tear film fails to disappear normally. It is recommended to first try non-pharmacological treatment methods, such as massage. The specific operation is to press along the bridge of the nose downward towards the inner corner of the eye, five times a day, with each press lasting for five counts. Before considering whether to perform a lacrimal duct examination, observe the effects of the massage first. Hope this advice helps you, and wish your child a healthy growth.
