Many mothers may find that their babies have blocked nasolacrimal ducts, leading to eye swelling and blockage. So, what should we do if a one year old baby has blocked nasolacrimal ducts?
Firstly, obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct refers to the fact that nasal mucus and eyes belong to the same channel, known as the nasolacrimal duct. However, if the opening of the nasal cavity is blocked by congenital membrane tissue, tears will be obstructed, causing swelling and blockage of the eyes, which is also detrimental to the health of children.
Secondly, when the baby's nasolacrimal duct is found to be blocked, they can be observed for a period of time to see if it is confirmed to be a symptom of the nasolacrimal duct. During the observation period, you can try to give your child an eye massage to relax the skin around their eyes. However, parents should pay attention to the intensity of the massage to prevent injury to their baby. If it is confirmed that the nasolacrimal duct is blocked, the best way is to go to the hospital for examination, listen to the doctor's advice for medication, and if necessary, undergo minor surgery for recovery.
Finally, parents should pay attention to the care and protection of their children's eyes. The nasolacrimal duct of children is caused by congenital obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, and most 90% of children will be cured before the age of one. Some children will be cured by surgery after the age of one, and it is recommended to treat them as early as possible. If intervention treatment is delayed until after the age of 2, it will be difficult to cure through probe puncture and surgery is required.
