Question

What are the symptoms of neonatal dacryocystitis?

Answer

Common symptoms of neonatal dacryocystitis include frequent eye tearing and irritability soon after birth. This may be related to chronic infection, and treatment may require antibiotics and anti-infection therapy. At the same time, it is also necessary to complement treatments for clearing heat and detoxification, nutritional support, and to supplement vitamins and trace elements. Additionally, maintaining a cheerful mood and adequate rest are also important. Since there are many causes for the obstruction of the infant’s lacrimal duct, it is necessary to identify the cause before treatment and adopt targeted treatment methods to see effective results. Daily care measures are also indispensable. It is recommended that parents encourage their children to drink more water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
