hi girls,
anyone know anything about blocked tear ducts?
fraser has had a kind of yellow/greeny discharge coming from his eye ever since he was born(7 weeks ago) at first i was told that it was probably conjunctivitus sp? and so to put BM in it or bath with salted water. Tried both of these for weeks to no avail and the discharge has got worse since then. They then decided to give us some eye drops which also did nothing. One evening the pus was so bad that we called nhs and were told to get it checked at hospital. They then gave us fusdic acid drops which have also done nothing. The HV took a swab and unfortunately it came back with no growth so they are now trying to tell me that it is a blocked tear duct?? having googled this it seems that there wouldnt be all the pus/discharge if this was the case.
Anyone's lo had this or have any advice, just worried that it is an infection and we're doing nothing to treat it. thanks x
