How to care for your baby s blocked tear duct?

Introduction: Babies generally cry often after birth, and some babies will have tear duct blockage, which will cause the baby to cry, and the tears will be blocked in the eyes, so it is easy to cause damage to the baby's eyes, so such a situation should be dealt with in time. How to care for your baby's blocked tear duct?

Let's find out.

Infantile tear duct blockage is mostly due to congenital factors, infants and young children have a membrane in the inferior nasal canal, which should automatically atrophy at birth, and the nasolacrimal duct will be unobstructed. In some babies, this membrane does not atrophy at birth, so it can cause tear duct blockage, and the baby shows tearing and even pus, resulting in neonatal dacryocystitis.

When the baby's tear duct is blocked, it is first necessary to determine whether it is caused by inflammation or whether there are organic lesions in the tear duct. Generally, if the tear duct is blocked before the fourth month, the main reason is to use antibiotic eye drops for symptomatic anti-inflammatory**. At the same time, after returning home, parents can usually gently massage the lacrimal sac area at the base of the child's nose with their fingers, and achieve the effect of dredging the tear duct by squeezing the lacrimal sac.

If, after four months, the child's symptoms are still not relieved, or even tend to worsen, professional irrigation is required under the guidance of a doctor**.

First of all, you must pay attention to hygiene, and do not rub your eyes with very dirty hands, because if the eyes are itchy, you can rinse them with cold water. Washbasins and towels should be used by a dedicated person, and personal toiletries such as washbasins and towels should not be mixed with family members. The diet should be light, and eat more carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli and other vegetables, cook more and fry less, and drink more water, which is also very good for the eyes.

When going out, you must pay attention to protecting your eyes, in windy weather, if you go out, you should pay attention to eye protection, if there are tears overflowing, do not wipe your eyes with your sleeves, let alone wipe your eyes with dirty hands, be sure to use a clean handkerchief or gauze to gently wipe your eyes to avoid infection.

Parents can help the baby massage the tear duct, press with the fingers 3 or 4 times a day, and after the compression, apply a cotton swab to clean up the dirty things in time, and use antibiotic eye drops at the same time.

Usually you should keep the baby's eyes clean, if the situation is serious, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.

Neonatal dacryocystitis is a relatively common external eye disease, which is characterized by watery eyes and even yellowish pus. Whenever a child has this disease, parents are very anxious and will ask what kind of disease it is and whether there is a big problem.

In fact, the occurrence of neonatal dacryocystitis is caused by a blocked nasolacrimal duct. Usually the outlet of the nasolacrimal duct in newborns is closed by a membrane, and most newborns will automatically rupture the membrane at the same time as they produce tears (usually 3 to 4 weeks after birth), and the tear duct will begin to open. However, in some cases, the closed membrane is thick, or due to congenital stenosis of the nasolacrimal duct or the deformity of the nasal septum, which causes the tear duct to be blocked, and tears will be retained in the lacrimal sac.

The humidity inside the lacrimal sac is ideal for bacteria to grow and multiply, and once infected, the tears turn into pus.

In this case, parents should massage the lacrimal sac area from top to bottom on the side of the nose bridge of the child's affected eye 9 (medically called the internal adjac) every day, and do not slide or rub the fingers on the ** during the massage, but use the thumb to close the ** force to the subcutaneous lacrimal sac area to slide and massage from top to bottom. Such a massage can be performed 2-4 times a day. At the same time, it should be combined with antibiotic eye drops (such as rifampicin, chloramphenicol eye drops, etc.) according to the doctor's instructions, and 1 2 drops should be used 3 4 times a day.

Before dropping the syrup, the cavity should be wiped clean with a cotton swab.

If the massage does not work, you can also go to the hospital to let the ophthalmologist repeatedly irrigate the tear duct for the child, if it still does not work, you should perform tear duct exploration as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause inflammation of the tissue around the lacrimal sac, or the formation of a lacrimal fistula, which is a fistula that is not easy to completely complete, and will also affect the beauty of the appearance.

At present, lacrimal duct obstruction can be performed by surgery, such as nasolacrimal duct prosthetic surgery, dacryocyst-nasal anastomosis, laser lacrimal duct plasty, etc., and the method of repeated probing and gradually increasing the probe to enlarge the nasolacrimal duct can be used, which is effective for a small number of mild or fibrin adhesion obstruction, and it is difficult to be effective for existing fixed scars.

Hello parents, if it still doesn't work, don't wait for six months later, now there are a lot of babies with tear ducts, our hospital has to receive dozens of cases of tear duct babies every day, you can try to massage the inner canthal area at the corner of the eye with your fingertips, if the conservative ** has no effect then you need surgery**.
