If your child’s blockage tear duct does not go away by the time of nine to 12 months, they may have to undergo nasolacrimal duct treatment.
In this treatment, the pediatric ophthalmologist (eye specialist for children) may insert a probe into your child’s nasolacrimal duct and clean anything that causes blockages. This treatment is usually successful.
Blocked tear ducts in babies are normal and may heal naturally. However, if you find your child has very watery eyes or any fluid discharge, you must contact your health expert and take proper guidance.
Get your child’s eye checked in their sixth month to detect any possible issue. And if your child shows any signs of discomfort in their eyes or if they are unusually sensitive to light, seek medical advice and treatment from your pediatrician.
