Many parents may experience more discomfort in their children during their growth process and do not know what to do. Some may be common illnesses, while others may be uncommon illnesses. Parents should master some knowledge in order to provide their children with more appropriate care. How to massage children with blocked tear ducts?
There are two methods for massaging children with blocked lacrimal ducts. One method is that if there is obvious purulent discharge in the baby's eyes, parents can use their thumb or ten fingers to press the central part of the nasal root and inner canthus of the eyes, namely the lacrimal sac, in a clockwise direction to squeeze out the pus. After wiping the pus clean for the baby, parents can apply some eye drops to relieve the symptoms.
Massage three to four times a day with a certain intensity to achieve the desired effect. However, the intensity should not be too strong to avoid damaging the baby's delicate skin and subcutaneous blood vessels. It is best to apply a small amount of antibiotic eye drops before each massage to achieve better results.
Another method is to press down with your hand, and be sure to apply some force when pressing. The obstructive membrane at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct can be opened by pressing. Usually press 5-7 times a day, 6-8 times each time. For infants and young children aged 6 months to 1.5 years old, if there are still symptoms of nasolacrimal duct obstruction, the chance of self improvement is very small, so it is considered to adopt more active treatment methods.
