Treatment:

1. Mothers must pay attention to the hygiene of their baby's eyes. For example, towels used to wipe the baby's face should be exposed to the sun or scalded with boiling water to sterilize. Do not wipe the baby's eyes with your hands. Of course, you should also prevent the baby from rubbing his eyes with his hands. If you find that the baby has eye problems, you need to see a doctor to prescribe eye drops. Don't delay. For example, using erythromycin eye ointment for the baby is very effective.

2. The most common one is dacryocystitis in children. In severe cases, the lacrimal sac may be blocked. The secretion is called purulent secretion. For treatment, you need to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for tear duct flushing. Generally, 1-3 times can clear the tear duct. It will not harm the child's eyes. After flushing, you can use Tobrex eye drops to prevent infection.

3. It is recommended that self-treatment at home can also effectively relieve the symptoms. Wash your hands and use your index finger to gently massage from the nose along the tear duct until the purulent secretions are squeezed out and reduced. Repeat three times each time, three times a day, and then apply Tobrex eye drops. If the condition does not improve after one month, you need to go to the hospital for tear duct flushing or tear duct probing, and in severe cases, tear duct catheterization.

4. Conservative treatment can be carried out first. Parents can give the baby lacrimal sac massage 2-3 times a day. If there is no improvement after conservative treatment for a period of time, you need to take your baby to the hospital for tear duct flushing or tear duct probing. Parents should not worry too much, as tear duct flushing or probing is a minor ophthalmic operation and is performed in an outpatient clinic. The baby currently has eye secretions, and Tobrex eye drops can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment.
