Question

A newborn male infant, at 18 days old, sought medical attention at the pediatric hospital due to excessive eye mucus. The doctor prescribed Tilybuto eye drops. After more than 20 days of medication, the eye mucus stopped, but the left eye does not produce tears during crying, while the right eye has abundant tears. The patient inquired about the cause and treatment methods, and whether it can heal naturally.

Answer

Hello: It is still recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out the possibility of tear duct blockage.
