Crying is actually a very normal thing. When you're sad, you'll cry; when you're excited, you'll cry. For babies, it's normal to cry when they're hungry, cold, or hot. But if you cry for no reason, it should be taken seriously. So, is it normal for four month old babies to cry?
The situation of infants shedding tears and eye droppings is mostly seen in obstructed tear ducts. It is recommended that parents can help massage the corners of their babies' eyes and keep them clean. If the symptoms do not improve, further examination is needed to see if it is necessary to flush the lacrimal duct. The best effect for flushing the lacrimal duct is in infants aged 2-5 months. You can also regularly apply hot compresses around the eyes to your child, taking care to avoid burns. You can use your mother's milk to rinse the area around the eyes, which will have a certain effect. If breastfeeding, the mother's diet should also be mainly light.
The main reasons for four month old babies crying are:
1. The lacrimal duct system is not fully developed, pay attention to observing for purulent secretions.
2. Conjunctivitis, which stimulates increased secretion of tears.
3. There are some foreign objects in the eyes. A four month old baby's right eye often sheds tears for no reason. It is considered that the baby's right eye is underdeveloped, and there is a high possibility of lacrimal sac blockage, which prevents tears from flowing into the nasopharynx and causing tearing in the right eye. It is recommended to undergo right lacrimal sac patency surgery for treatment. You can go to the ophthalmology clinic of the local hospital for surgical treatment. After careful examination and identifying the cause, appropriate targeted treatment can generally improve gradually. Pay more attention to observing the child's condition in daily life.
