After the baby is born, many parents are afraid that their children will catch cold, so the room temperature at home is often very high, and bacteria are easy to multiply. In addition, newborns will unconsciously rub their eyes with their hands, leading to increased eye secretions, conjunctival congestion and other conjunctivitis symptoms. If it is not a serious bacterial infection or a cold and fever, the symptoms such as increased secretions, increased lacrimal glands and eyeball bleeding are obvious, and the eyelid skin is red and swollen.

dacryoadenitis

Neonatal dacryocystitis is caused by excretory lacrimal duct obstruction. Because the embryonic residual film at the lower end of the nasal duct does not degenerate, it blocks the lower part of the nasolacrimal duct, and tears and bacteria gather in the lacrimal sac located in the skin of the inner corner of the eye, thus causing infection. About 4% full-term newborns have this kind of residual membrane, and most of them can recover themselves within four or six weeks.
