Epiphora(watery eye problem)
My baby had the watery eye( epiphora) problem 5days back in just one eye accompanied by sticky yellow discharge, swelling and watery eyes. The treatment started with two eye drops namely, Alcon Vigamox 5ml and Aquagic After two days of starting the treatment the infection spread to the other eye also and has now spread to my eyes too.
1.Me, being the mother , what precautions should I take so that infection doesn't spread further
2. What should b the course of treatment
You haven't mentioned the age of baby but in baby two reasons for watering, first congenital non-canalization of lacrimal duct ,& 2nd mild infection ,first. Can not be cured with medicine ,you will have to visit ophalmologist to learn the technique how to do lacrimal sac massage & for mild infection you should use vigamox eye drops 2hrly+ zymaxid eye drops 4times & gradually decreasing the frequency as discharge diminished
