Clogged Tear Duct, Yellow Eye Secretions in a Young Child

 Clogged tear duct, yellow eye secretions in a young child - Conflict I don't want to be seen in this situation

November 2016

Another concrete case from our family clarified: yesterday while the child was sleeping, because the internet was down due to bad weather, I started browsing through NMG documents on my tablet, just by chance. My eyes fell on the section with lacrimal gland and lacrimal duct diseases. Bingo! Another case explained...

The little one, about a month after birth, suffered from a blocked tear duct in his left eye - specifically: every morning he woke up with his eye glued shut, with dry and sticky pus all over his eye, coming from the area of ​​the lacrimal duct, that is, from the base of the nose. The doctor advised us to wipe it well with saline and wait for it to pass. It passed in a few days. At that time, we, not knowing anything about NMG, blamed it all on a walk in the wind outside. We thought, because that's all we knew and our heads were spinning, that the current must have pulled the poor child's eye :)

Explanation: Conflict involved in the blockage of the tear duct: I don't want to be seen in this situation. I sat and thought, puzzled, in what situation the poor one-month-old child wouldn't want to be seen. And then the explanation "hit" me - it was conflict taken over from me! Small children often take over the conflicts of their mother or relatives they feel very close to. In the last month of pregnancy and during the birth, I didn't want to be seen. Not at all! Leave me alone.

I didn't accept any visits from anyone at the maternity ward, no matter how close they were. Only my husband was the only one I wanted by my side. The rest, only 2-3 very, very close people came home about 2 weeks when I wanted to see someone. Until then, I wanted absolutely everyone to leave me alone.

The result: blocked tear duct in the child, one month after birth, at the moment when I got over the conflict.

Thank you, Dr. Hamer,
