Question

The baby was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they are always crying. What could be the reason if one of the baby’s eyes is tearing?

It could be due to conjunctivitis, which requires alternating use of antibiotic and corticosteroid eye drops, and the application of red mold ointment at night. Oral antibiotics and other medications should also be taken. Avoid spicy and alcoholic foods that may irritate the eyes. Increase vitamin intake, as there are many causes of pediatric external eye diseases. It is essential to identify the cause before treatment to see effective results. Moreover, proper care in daily life is indispensable. It is recommended to eat fewer spicy foods and more eye-protective foods.
