The main causes of green eye droppings in children are congenital tear duct obstruction, acute conjunctivitis, chronic dacryocystitis and so on.
1. Congenital tear duct blockage: If the lower exit of nasolacrimal duct is blocked by a layer of film or amniotic excretions, causing congenital tear duct blockage, resulting in the tears secreted by the nasolacrimal duct can not be diverted to the nasal cavity, and then stagnate in the corners of the eyes, mixing with the dust and other impurities entering the eyes, which can lead to the formation of green eye droppings.
2. Acute conjunctivitis: If the child’s conjunctiva is infected by bacteria, triggering acute conjunctivitis, inflammatory cells may infiltrate the blepharoplakic glands, stimulating increased secretion of the blepharoplakic glands, and inflammatory secretions dry up in the corners of the eyes, which may lead to the formation of green eye droppings.
3. Chronic dacryocystitis: Chronic dacryocystitis can be caused by factors such as influenza, trachoma and foreign body irritation. Due to the blockage of the tear ducts and infections, there is often pus secretions, and these pus secretions, if not wiped off in time, accumulate in the corners of the eyes and can turn into green eye droppings.
There may be other reasons for your child’s green eye droppings, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital as soon as possible for a complete examination to determine the cause of the problem and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
