4-month-old baby with a blocked tear duct?

Question

My baby is 4 months old. Since birth, his lacrimal duct is blocked and he has a lot of green/yellow sticky secretions. At his birth and at his 1 month appointment I was told that this was normal. However, 4 months later, his 2nd eye is also clogged and both eyes are permanently stuck. I wash his eyes every 15 minutes, I massage the ducts.

Hello, thank you for your question! Given his young age, the situation often evolves afterwards. There is not much that is done before the age of 1 year. You are doing well with massages and hygiene, that is the only thing you can do for now. I hope I have reassured you, don't hesitate if there is anything Tom Samaha, pharmacist
