Suggest Remedy For Constant Dripping From Nose And Eyes

Hi Doctor, my uncle has stage four pancreatic cancer. He has had fluid drained from his lungs. I believe he needs to have this procedure done again. He also has constant dripping from his nose and eyes, is this related to the fluid buildup in his lungs? If so is there anything that can be done to provide relief to him.

hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Sorry to know that your uncle has stage 4 cancer pancreas. Unfortunately the survival of a patient in this condition is from 6 months to 2 years. Since he is under treatment, it is possible that his immunity is low ans that is why he is getting infections. The fluids in his nose and eyes might be due to paranasal air sinus infection. Fluids get collected in air spaces around eyes and nose and this drips continuously.

The fluid in chest is due to persisting infection in pleural cavity. Little fluid requires to be tested for infection. Excess fluid must be removed and the infection must be treated with medicines. Please give him adequate pain relief and supportive care. Please do not worry.
