Question
Why do kids cry without tears?
Answer
Hello, this could be because of dacryocystitis leading to a blockage in the tear duct, causing obstruction of tear fluid circulation, which may result in symptoms like watering eyes in the wind. Treatment generally involves tear duct irrigation, followed by anti-infection therapy. Since there are various causes for pediatric tear duct obstruction, it’s essential to understand the underlying cause before treatment and to implement symptomatic treatment principles. Moreover, daily care precautions are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-protecting foods.
