After newborns develop dacryocystitis, they usually require medication for treatment. However, because the child is very young, taking oral medications can be difficult. Topical medications may be tried first. It is recommended to take the child to see a qualified ophthalmologist and then use medications under the doctor's guidance. During the course of drug treatment, proper eye care for the child should be maintained.
