A common and contagious condition affecting newborns, the partial or complete obstruction in the tear duct system of the eyes is known as Dacryostenosis. One or both eyes can be constantly filled with tears or mucus. Medindia’s support group will help you contact with pediatric specialists who can give you valuable advice on handling a child’s blocked tear duct. So, sign up today!
Dacryostenosis is common in infants and usually disappear by the time the child is one year old. But do not worry as this is not infectious. Just do some massage by using one finger and massaging from the inner side of the eye to the outer side of the nose. This is quite an effective method and can be done in the alternate sides. If the discharge from the eyes increases, antibiotics drops might be necessary by prescription from doctor.
