Precautions for baby's dacryocystitis massage

1. Before massage, the operator should wash his hands and trim his nails to make them round, blunt and smooth to avoid damaging the child's skin.

2. Massage 3-4 times a day, pressing 6-8 times each time. If there is pus, wipe off the secretion with a cotton swab after massage, and repeat the above steps until there is no pus and then apply medicine.

The effect of massage on baby's dacryocystitis

1. Massage can increase the hydrostatic pressure in the lacrimal sac, and then rupture the membranous obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct through pressure conduction, thus opening the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct and relieving the obstruction;

2. Massage can discharge the retained tears in the lacrimal sac, reducing or even eliminating the bacterial culture environment;

3. Massage can create a relative negative pressure in the lacrimal sac, allowing the liquid medicine to enter the lacrimal sac through siphoning;

4. Massage can effectively improve the symptoms of increased secretions and epiphora in children. It can also discharge purulent secretions in the lacrimal sac and lacrimal duct, and avoid the purulent secretions from blocking the lacrimal duct again after lacrimal duct probing.
