Question

Hello doctor, I would like to ask: How should we treat a child’s dacryocyst stenosis? It has been going on for some time, and I am hesitant to give medication. Could you please provide some advice?

Answer

It is best to bring the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine if there is a possibility of dacryocyst stenosis. If conservative treatment is not effective, surgery should be considered, primarily involving dacryocystorhinostomy. After the surgery, it is important to actively undergo anti-inflammatory treatment, pay attention to eye hygiene, and conduct relevant examinations for confirmation. At the same time, ensure adequate sleep, maintain a light diet, reduce intake of fats and sugars, and avoid irritating food.
