Q: The eyes are runny and there are eye drops Is there a suitable treatment? A: Tears and pus in newborns may be caused by neonatal dacryocystitis. After birth, there is a flap at the lower mouth of the lacrimal duct at the nasal cavity that should degenerate in time, but in some children this flap does not degenerate, and lacrimation or neonatal dacryocystitis may occur. The treatment can be flushing the tear duct and anti-inflammatory, massage. If this does not work, a lacrimal duct exploration is required.
