At times, there babies are born
with one or both tear partially or completely blocked. They usually open around
the second week, when the child begins to produce the first tears, meanwhile,
is a watery liquid a little mucus, tears instead of drained through the nose
will begin to fall by the eyelids, this is not usually painful and ducts opened
without treatment.
If the tear ducts are blocked
while the tears drain as they should, you may be infected. These infections
produce a secretion, whitish at the corners of the eyes, eyelashes and become
sticky when dry may stick together, while the baby sleeps and then it is
impossible to open their eyes.
This is usually treated with eye
drops or ointment prescribed by the doctor after examining it, sometimes just
cleaning the infant's eye with a little sterile water embedded in a small speck
of cotton. Be used once and then throw it away, using a new one every time you
sanitize your child's eyes.
These infections can occur
several times during the first months of your baby is born, rarely blocking the
tear requires surgery.
