Question
The newborn had a blue swelling in the corner of the left eye, and 10 days later, there was eye discharge. The swelling disappeared a few days later but reappeared. Is this a symptom of pediatric dacryocystitis? How should it be treated?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child may be suffering from pediatric dacryocystitis. It is recommended that you consider dacryocystorhinostomy for your child to resolve the obstruction in the tear duct.
