What is often referred to as “eye boogers” is the discharge from the corners of the eyes. If your newborn baby has constant discharge, you should consider whether it is caused by neonatal conjunctivitis, or by an incomplete nasolacrimal duct.
1. Neonatal conjunctivitis: often caused by viral or mycoplasma infections in newborns. Often in the newborn 5 ⁓ 14 days of life onset, there will be conjunctival congestion and eye secretion increased performance, most can be 2 ⁓ 3 weeks after the secretion will be significantly reduced, until cured.
2. Incomplete tear-nose tube: Incomplete tear-nose tube will lead to the tears can not be effectively drained to the nasal cavity, which will stimulate the increase of eye secretion. Surgery is often the treatment of choice.
If a newborn baby always has eye droppings, you should first cooperate with the doctor to do relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease, and then treat the cause of the disease, so as to avoid delaying the disease.
