Question
Parents inquire about a 22-month-old child who has been treated conservatively for tear duct blockage at a local hospital but have seen no improvement. They are informed that general anesthesia may be required for surgery and are worried about the appropriateness of the treatment method, as well as inquiring about the approximate cost.
Answer
An ophthalmologist recommends that parents take the child to a specialized hospital for examination to determine if surgery is necessary. If surgery is required, a 22-month-old child typically undergoes the procedure under general anesthesia, with surgery costs approximately around 3000 yuan. In addition, the doctor advises that postoperative eye care should be taken and spicy foods should be eaten sparingly.
