Girls shed cotton tears every day. What is cotton tears

Sihaiwang: strange news! Tears are a kind of exclusive material for human beings to express their emotions, but not all people cry with tears. According to foreign media, a girl in India cried with cotton in her eyes. What's the matter?

An 11-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh, India, is said to have shed 35 to 40 small 'cotton balls' from her eyes every day in the past two weeks. Local villagers thought she was possessed by ghosts and scared, so they kept away.

The little girl's name is Manasi. From August 25, the cotton like material flowed from the lacrimal gland every day. Her parents, because of their superstition, have not taken her to see an ophthalmologist.

Doctors in the village came to see Manasseh's "cotton tears" after hearing about it. However, due to the strange symptom, doctors can only recommend her to find a professional ophthalmologist for diagnosis as soon as possible.

The Indian newspaper that reported the incident consulted a number of ophthalmologists about the symptoms.

Dr. navneet Saxena, Dean of Medical College in Jabalpur, said the symptoms may be caused by an allergic reaction: Patients with ocular allergies may produce white floccules from the lacrimal glands, which, if dry, may look like cotton.

Dr. Pawan setak said that in malnourished children, especially those who lack vitamin D, white flocculent secretions sometimes flow out of lacrimal glands, which may explain Manasseh's strange symptoms.
