Question
I recently noticed that my 20-month-old baby often cries, especially when there’s a breeze, and sometimes even at home. What could be the cause?
Answer
The reasons for a baby’s tears could include excessive tear secretion or narrow or blocked tear ducts, which might be caused by inflammation, injury, or even congenital factors. If there are no other symptoms, crying in the cold wind is usually physiological. However, if it’s a persistent issue, it’s advisable to consult an ophthalmologist for examination and diagnosis.
