What are the symptoms of dacryocystitis in 5-month-old infants?

summary

My husband and I have been married for a long time, but we only have our baby this year. Since the baby was born, our family has been very happy. We are all inexperienced in taking care of our children. Our parents told us to observe every part of the baby's body well. They also said that newborns are particularly prone to lacrimal gland inflammation. We must pay attention to going to the hospital for examination if there is anything wrong. Let's go and have a look.

What are the symptoms of dacryocystitis in 5-month-old infants?

The newborn with dacryocystitis should be nursed as soon as possible, so that the baby can lie down, let one person fix the baby's head and limbs, and then another person with clean hands with the baby's lacrimal sac area along the nose to push down, pay attention to the force to be uniform, not too much damage to the skin, after massage can drop eye drops.

Neonatal dacryocystitis suffering from dacryocystitis, generally speaking, has a lump in the lacrimal sac. If you touch it gently with your hand, it will have a little elasticity, but it is not very red or swollen. If it is acute, it may show the above symptoms. Once it appears, don't panic and seek medical treatment in time.

Neonatal lacrimal gland inflammation is a common external eye disease, it is because the embryonic residual film of neonatal nasolacrimal duct does not degenerate, resulting in nasolacrimal duct blockage, and then tears stay in the lacrimal sac, bacteria will grow in the lacrimal sac, causing infection, once infected, tears will become pus.

matters needing attention

If the massage does not have a great effect, we should go to the hospital to wash the lacrimal duct for the child. If there is still no certain curative effect, we should carry out lacrimal duct probing as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause eye inflammation and form a difficult to cure lacrimal sac fistula.
