Film on newborn's eye

For a newborn baby, all the focus of the family is on him, and every move of the child is particularly concerned. Many friends have found that there is a layer of film on the eyeballs of newborns, which makes friends particularly nervous and worried whether there is a problem with the child's eyes and whether it will affect the future vision. So what is the matter with the thin film on the eyeballs of newborns? The following is a detailed introduction for friends.

Congenital dacryocystitis in children. Congenital dacryocystitis is generally caused by obstruction of the lower segment of the nasolacrimal duct by residual membrane or Heyer valve. The symptoms of congenital dacryocystitis mostly appear 3 to 4 days after birth, and the main manifestations are increased eye mucus and tearing. The reason for the increase in eye mucus is that bacteria invade the lacrimal sac, multiply in the lacrimal sac and cause suppuration. The pus fills the entire lacrimal sac and cannot be excreted downward, so it can only flow upward along the lacrimal sac and lacrimal ductules into the eyes. If not treated early, keratitis is likely to occur, and the cornea may turn from black to white and form white spots, thus affecting the baby's visual development.

Congenital dacryocystitis is often treated by flushing the tear ducts multiple times. If the problem cannot be solved by flushing the tear duct multiple times, a probe can be used to clear the blocked part of the nasolacrimal duct. This minor operation is generally suitable for babies before 6 months old.

Yellow-white eye mucus is often seen in bacterial conjunctivitis, which can be treated with tobramycin eye drops. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by heat, while Western medicine believes that it is an infection, which is the same thing. It's best to have an eye exam to see what's causing it.

This condition of the child needs to be taken seriously. It can be seen in baby's eye secretions or opacities in the vitreous body of the lens. It depends on whether the baby's membrane is located on the cornea of the black eyeball or in the pupil area, whether it moves on its own, and whether it does so at birth. If one eyeball is good, it will not affect the normal rotation of the other side, so an ophthalmic examination is needed.

Considering that it is caused by the baby getting angry, is the baby eating breast milk or milk powder?

Guidance: If the baby is breastfed, the adults may need to eat light food. If the baby is fed with milk powder, you can give the baby some chrysanthemum crystal water. Just give the baby more water!
