Children's eyes always have tears

It is a very common disease in daily life that children always have tears in their eyes. It will not only cause great harm to the patient's physical health, but also seriously affect their normal life. People need to seek medical treatment in time when they find related symptoms and choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own physical condition in order to recover health as soon as possible.

1. Your child's current eyes are tearing up, mainly due to conjunctivitis caused by bacterial infection. Do not rub the eyes, otherwise it will aggravate the infection and discomfort. You can apply chloramphenicol eye ointment, etc. It may also be caused by tear duct blockage. You can go to an ophthalmologist for examination in time. If it is blocked, you can take timely treatment such as tear duct recanalization surgery, which can gradually improve the condition.

2 In the situation you described, it is very likely that you did not pay attention when your child had a cold, and the nasolacrimal duct was blocked, so the child would have constant tears and eye mucus. I suggest you take your child to the ophthalmology department of the hospital and ask the doctor to clear the blocked nasal tube. The symptoms will gradually ease. After the nasolacrimal duct is cleared, if there is inflammation, you can use some eye drops to reduce inflammation. This will not have any adverse effects in the future.

3. If a child has tears in his eyes and increased eye mucus, it may be conjunctivitis or dacryocystitis caused by infection, and foreign matter in the eye cannot be ruled out. The baby's condition here is just a preliminary consideration. It is recommended to use topical tobramycin eye drops and oral dibutyl granules for treatment. At the same time, spicy food should be avoided and a light diet should be maintained. If the medication is ineffective after three days, an eye examination is required.

4 Common reasons for children's tears:

1. Neonatal dacryocystitis

It is the most common cause of tears in children, with an incidence of about 5% to 6% in newborns, and it is more common in one eye. This is mainly because the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct has not yet fully developed for a period of time after the child is born, and is blocked by a layer of residual membrane, causing tear duct obstruction, and secondary bacterial infection, resulting in tearing and pus discharge. A simple way to judge is to press the skin at the corner of the eye with your fingers, and you can see yellow-white pus flowing out of the corner of the eye.

Treatment methods: In the acute stage, it is mainly systemic and local antibiotics. In the chronic stage, it is mainly massage of the skin slightly below the canthus (tear sac area) to open the lower opening of the nasolacrimal duct, combined with antibiotics.
