The manifestation and treatment of newborn babies with lacrimation and excessive eye discharge (neonatal dacryocystitis)

Causes of neonatal dacryocystitis: obstruction of the nasolacrimal ducts due to the nasolacrimal ducts not being ducted after birth.  The manifestation of neonatal lacrimal sacculitis: the baby’s eyes have a lot of stools and are teary.  How can you tell if you have neonatal dacryocystitis? 1) A simple way to tell if you have neonatal dacryocystitis is to use your index finger to gently press down on the inner corner of the baby’s eye when you can feel a cord-like structure.  How to treat neonatal dacryocystitis? 1) If there is a lot of discharge, you can first use your fingers to regularly compress the lacrimal sac area, and after a few times of compression, then order antibiotic eye solution such as Tobias eye solution 3 to 4 times a day; 2) If there is no discharge, you can just massage locally, in the same way as above (i.e.: from the lower lid orbital margin between the inner side and the eye downward compression). Adhere to the massage, as shown: most neonatal lacrimal sacculitis can heal on its own with age and generally does not require surgical treatment. If the child does not heal on its own after the age of half a year, lacrimal duct exploration can be considered (lacrimal duct exploration is very simple and does not require hospitalization).  Caution: Use a clean cotton swab to remove the eye droppings before using the medication. Be careful not to let the mouth of the bottle touch your child’s eyes to avoid touching them or contaminating them with eye drops. Use your finger to pull down on the lower eyelid and put the drops between the lower eyelid and the eyeball, not on the black eye.
