Question

The baby’s eyes are always watering, and they seem to cry a lot. How should we handle a baby’s ductal obstruction?

Answer

It is recommended to first use eye drops and flush the tear ducts. It is suggested to alternate between using Acyclovir eye drops and Floxacin eye drops every 2 hours. The face cloth must be boiled and disinfected 2-3 times a day, and it should be used separately to prevent repeated infections. If this is not effective, surgical treatment may be considered. Since the causes of pediatric ductal obstruction are diverse, it is necessary to understand the etiology before treatment and implement symptomatic treatment principles. Moreover, nursing measures in daily life are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-protective foods.
