How is infantile dacryocystitis treated

summary

Now many children are taken care of by nannies, because parents are usually busy with work and have no time to take care of their children. But how can nannies take care of their children as carefully as their parents, so children often have dacryocystitis. I believe many parents want to know how to relieve dacryocystitis. Next I say how to treat children dacryocystitis.

How is infantile dacryocystitis treated

First, lacrimal passage probing and flushing method: supine position, fix the head and limbs, topically apply 2 drops of 1.4g/l benoxil to the eye for topical anesthesia. If the lower lacrimal point is too small, first expand the lacrimal point, and then use No. 7 dental flushing needle. After applying eye ointment around the needle to make it smooth, insert the needle vertically into the lower lacrimal point about 1.5mm deep, and then turn the flushing needle parallel to the eyelid edge, toward the inner canthus and lacrimal canaliculus Gently push the washing needle with the pulp of the index finger. When it touches the bone wall, rotate the tail of the needle upward, then slowly push the needle downward and backward, with a depth of about 2.5-3cm. Connect the needle tube that has inhaled Houttuynia cordata eye drops and dexamethasone injection and gently inject them. When the patient swallows, pull out the washing needle and wash it every other day.

Second: Western medicine therapy: conservative treatment can be carried out at home. One is lacrimal passage massage, which is the massage of lacrimal sac. If the cyst suddenly disappears, it means that the residual membrane has been broken, and it will be cured immediately. If conservative treatment for more than 6 months, including repeated massage, is still ineffective, the lacrimal sac area pus can be flushed and dripped with antibiotics, and then probe through, most can be cured. If there is peridacryocystitis, it should be treated as acute dacryocystitis. The second is to use antibiotic eye drops, so there are a small number of children cured, massage five to six times a day, eye drops two to three times a day, this is conservative treatment.

Third: conservative treatment for more than four months, if it doesn't work, some children's symptoms become more and more serious, this time must consider surgery. There are two kinds of operation, one is lacrimal passage probing operation, for some more complex, older children and even children with congenital lacrimal passage deformity, the effect of lacrimal passage probing operation is not very good. Another kind of operation is lacrimal duct intubation, also known as lacrimal duct implantation, this kind of operation is the latest operation.

matters needing attention

Dacryocystitis in children is a very common situation in children, and is not incurable. If children's dacryocystitis is not treated in time, it will form a pus cavity for a long time. And dacryocystitis is similar to the early stage of granuloma, but their pathogenesis is different. So if parents find that their children have this situation, they must give their children timely treatment.
