Question
My baby is 4 months old and has been constantly crying with tears in her eyes every day. I don’t know what’s going on. Could an expert analyze this?
Answer
The baby might have dacryocystitis. Since the baby is very young, for safety reasons, it is recommended that you take your baby to the local hospital’s ophthalmology department for a check-up and treatment. If you notice a lot of eye mucus, parents can wash their hands, use a clean cloth, and with the index finger of their right hand, massage the area next to the baby’s nose wing of the affected eye from top to bottom, three times a day, three to five times each time, until purulent discharge is eliminated. Given the numerous factors that can lead to pediatric eye diseases, it is essential to determine the cause before treatment can be effective. Moreover, proper care measures in daily life are indispensable. It is suggested to drink more water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
