Children's eyes are red and swollen with yellow eye mucus

Children's resistance is relatively poor, and they often have physical problems due to various reasons. Many new parents will find that their children's eyes are red and swollen, and there is yellow eye boogers when taking care of their babies. Inexperienced parents are often helpless when faced with these problems. In fact, the main cause of this phenomenon is getting angry or conjunctivitis. You just need to go to the hospital for treatment and take good care of your baby's daily life!

1. Getting angry

The child's condition must be what is commonly known as "getting angry", that is, there is internal heat and he does not drink enough water. Make some sugar water for the child to drink, but it should not be too strong. Also pay attention to whether there are any electronic or liquid mosquito coils near your child when he or she is sleeping at night. If so, try not to open them in your child's room. You need to give your child some eye drops, the kind for children, which have anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of diet, give your child some mung bean soup or mung bean porridge. Mung beans are cold in nature and sweet in taste. They can cool down and detoxify, clear away heat and relieve irritability. They are most suitable for babies with bad temper and restlessness. Give your child more fruits.

2. Conjunctivitis

It may also be acute conjunctivitis, which is an acute inflammation caused by sensitive bacteria. It is not a very serious disease and can be treated with conventional antibiotics. Suggestions: Because the child is very young and has low immunity, it is easy to cause such infection. You can now give the child eye drops during the day and eye ointment at night. Combined treatment can relieve it. Pay attention to the child's eye hygiene in the future, don't let her rub her eyes, keep them clean, and give the child enough nutrition to improve her own immunity, which can reduce the child's illness.

3. How to care for newborn baby's eyes

1. When washing your newborn's face at home, be sure to keep his eyes clean. Use a clean face towel to wipe from the inner corner of the eye near the nose to the outer corner of the eye, or wet a few cotton balls in water, squeeze out the water, and gently wipe from the inside to the outer corners of the eye. Wait until the newborn baby closes his eyes while wiping. After cleaning one eye, use a new cotton ball to clean the other eye.

2. Do not allow strong light to irritate the eyes of the newborn. Because newborns have been living in a dark room before birth, and their visual system is not fully developed, they cannot make protective adjustments to the stimulation of strong light, so they are very sensitive to light stimulation.

3. Don’t watch TV with your newborn. When TV is playing, the TV screen will generate X-rays. The amount of X-rays emitted by a color TV is more than twenty times that of a black and white TV. This type of radiation can cause anorexia, and in severe cases can affect growth and even intellectual development.

4. Be alert to injuries caused by foreign objects. Since the blink reflex of infants is not yet fully developed, special attention should be paid to preventing foreign objects in the eyes. If you go out on a windy day, you should cover your child's face with a gauze; take the baby away in time when cleaning; do not give the baby toys with sharp spikes.

5. Do not cover your eyes. Since infancy is the most sensitive period for children's visual development, if one eye is covered for a few days, it may cause permanent vision abnormalities in the covered eye. Therefore, if a child's eye is diseased, it must not be covered at will.

6. Prevent esotropia. Most parents often like to tie a rope in the middle of their baby's crib rails and hang some cute little toys on it to entice their children to chase after them. If this is done frequently, the child's eyes will rotate toward the center for a long time and may develop esotropia, commonly known as "cross-eyes." The correct way is to hang toys around the fence and change the position of the toys frequently.
