Inflammation can occur anywhere in the body, which is why anti-inflammatory drugs are so popular in pharmacies. Especially for babies with imperfect immune systems, serious illness is more likely to occur. Due to lack of attention to eye care, many children will experience symptoms of eye inflammation, and in severe cases, they may be unable to open their eyes. So, what should you do if your baby's eyes are inflamed?

What to do if your baby's eyes are inflamed

1. Avoid foreign matter from entering the eyes

The most important thing when your eyes are inflamed is to prevent them from being infected by other bacteria and germs again. At this time, the eyes' resistance is very low, which can easily aggravate the inflammation. Therefore, you must prevent sawdust, sand, dust, rust, eye makeup residues, etc. from entering your eyes to prevent your eyes from being irritated again and infected by bacteria and becoming inflamed.

2. Reduce touching

When your eyes become inflamed and swollen, try not to touch your eyes with your hands, because there are a lot of bacteria on our hands, and frequent touching with your hands will make the situation worse, so try to be patient.

3. Drink less water before going to bed

Many people are accustomed to drinking a lot of water two hours before going to bed, which will easily make their eyes swollen the next day. Therefore, try to drink less water within two hours before going to bed.

4. Increase your activity level

There is also a situation where the eyes become red and swollen due to lack of exercise and slower circulation in the body, so you can increase the amount of activity appropriately, which can also relieve the redness and swelling of the eyes.

5. Control spicy food, tobacco and alcohol

When our eyes become inflamed and red, we should eat less spicy food and control smoking and drinking, which can relieve the redness and swelling of our eyes.

6. Avoid eye fatigue

When your eyes are inflamed, you must avoid eye fatigue and do not allow your eyes to be stimulated by the environment, otherwise the inflammation will become more and more serious. Therefore, reduce the time you use your eyes. When studying, you should study in a soft lighting environment. After 45 minutes, you should take a 5-minute break and use the gaps to walk around and look into the distance.

7. Eye drops

If the above methods are not able to relieve the condition, we can go to the hospital to get some anti-inflammatory eye drops, which can help us quickly relieve the condition.
