Salam sejahtera!
Air mata senantiasa dihasilkan secara spontan untuk kesihatan mata (cleaning and lubricating purpose). Mata yang senantiasa berair (teary eyes) selain boleh disebabkan oleh faktor risiko penghasilan air mata yang berlebihan ataupun pengaliran air mata yang tergugat.
Faktor jangkitan, radang akibat alahan terhadap ubat-ubatan mahupun bend asing adalah di antara sebab yang bias menyebabkan mata berair. (seperti dalam kes anak Puan Akmal di mana dis demam dan selsema) .
kita juga harus memahami bahawa dalam keadaan biasa,air mata yang dihasilkan akan mengalir dal am saluran kecil dan akhirnya ke ruang dal am hidung melalui satu lubang (puncta) halus yang tarletak di sudut mata berdekatan hidung.
Pada kebanyakan masa, lubang halus itu boleh tersumbat menyebabkan aliran air mata terganggu dan mata kelihatan sentiasa berair dan boleh kering (tahi mata). Ini agar bias di kalangan kanak-kanak (toddler) dan biasanya elok dengan masa. Saya cadangkan supaya anak Puan Akmal diperiksa oleh doktor untuk memastikan sebab matanya berair.
p/s: soalan boelh ditujukan di ruangan Ask Doktorbudak di masa depan :->
