Question
A child was bitten by a dog six months ago and is still crying tears. How should it be treated?
Answer
After further treatment, it was confirmed that the child’s crying was due to dacryocystitis rather than a tear duct rupture. Dacryocystitis is a common symptom in infants, usually caused by lacrimal duct blockage leading to eye diseases, which can cause excessive eye boogers, frequent tearing, and even difficulty opening the eyes. It is recommended to undergo lacrimal sac massage or tear duct probing and cleaning at an ophthalmology clinic.
