Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
There are several reasons for excessive eye discharge in children. It may be caused by eye inflammations such as conjunctivitis or keratitis, which stimulate the eyes to produce more secretions. Children may also have allergic reactions to certain substances in the environment, leading to increased eye discharge. In addition, poor development or blockage of the tear ducts can result in excessive eye discharge, as ocular secretions cannot drain properly. Improper diet, such as consuming too many high-calorie foods, may also contribute to increased eye discharge.
