What to do with newborns with eye boogers

Newborns have eye boogers, considering conjunctivitis or dacryocystitis, you can use disinfectant wipes or cotton swabs to wipe off the eye boogers, and then point antibiotic eye drops for treatment. 1. Conjunctivitis: newborns have eye boogers, indicating the presence of bacterial infection in the eye, with bacterial conjunctivitis being the most common, at this time you can use disinfectant wipes to wipe off the eye boogers, pay attention to the selection of special non-irritating disinfectant wipes for babies, and need to be under the guidance of the doctor to order antibiotic eye drops for treatment, such as moxifloxacin eye drops, levofloxacin eye drops, etc.. 2. Dacryocystitis: When the baby is born, if the valve at the lower end of the tear duct is not degraded due to developmental abnormality, resulting in obstruction of the tear duct, it may cause dacryocystitis, which needs to be treated with antibiotic eye drops in the same way as conjunctivitis, and also needs to be done with massage of the lacrimal sac area to promote the opening of the tear duct. Because babies can not accurately describe the symptoms themselves, and at the same time the body resistance is poor, the disease progresses faster, once the above abnormal symptoms appear, you should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for examination and diagnosis in a timely manner, so as to treat the cause of the disease.
