Question
My baby is three months old, and her right eye often sheds tears. The eye socket is always wet, but there is no discharge, the eyes are not red, and there has been no wind exposure, nor have I seen any foreign objects in her eyes. Why is this happening?
Answer
Based on your description, the first consideration is that your baby may have trichiasis, which is a common condition during infancy, especially when the lower eyelashes grow towards the eye, causing tears. Another possibility is conjunctivitis, which can be treated with Tobradex eye drops.
