What should I do if my baby always has eye mucus?

Babies have very weak constitutions, so they are very susceptible to infection by bacteria or viruses and get sick easily. Some parents may find that their babies always have runny eyes. This may be due to the baby getting inflamed due to the parents' poor care. If the baby always has runny eyes, it must attract the parents' attention. Let’s take a look at what to do if your baby always has runny eyes.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main symptoms of "getting angry" are facial flushing, dry throat, throat pain, dry stool, irritability, and infants may also have multiple facial eczema and restless sleep. It is a misunderstanding of many parents that drinking milk powder can easily cause internal heat. Some parents even buy some "milk powder enemies" to "reduce internal heat", which is unnecessary. In fact, milk powder itself does not cause "getting angry", but improper feeding, inappropriate dressing, etc. may cause it, such as feeding the baby too much milk powder, drinking too little water, and not eating enough fruits and vegetables.

For children under 6 months old, the main way to reduce internal heat is to drink more water. When babies need to add complementary foods, they should pay special attention to preventing "getting angry". They should add complementary foods from shallow to deep, transitioning from mud to slag. They should not be added too quickly to avoid putting too much pressure on the stomach and intestines and causing "anger". In addition, we must pay attention to a reasonable diet, with staple foods as the main focus, vegetables second, and meat last. It is worth mentioning that many parents think that if their children eat more fruits, they don’t need to eat vegetables. Indeed, fruits cannot compete with vegetables. Vegetables contain a lot of vitamins and dietary fiber, which can help babies digest and prevent "getting angry". Drinking water is also an important way to prevent getting angry. Parents must encourage their children to drink more boiled water and less sweet water.

Relatively speaking, spring is a time when children are more likely to get "hot" due to the extreme heat, so mothers should pay more attention and not cover their children too tightly with clothes. In an environment with good air, babies should participate in more outdoor activities and remember to drink more water. If your baby has symptoms of getting angry such as dry throat, I recommend two "heat-removing" dietary recipes: one is to boil water with white pears, white radish, and water chestnuts; the other is to boil water with slices of winter melon or lotus root for your child to drink.
