Newborn baby has red bloodshot eyes

It is a common phenomenon for newborns to have red bloodshot eyes. The causes of this phenomenon may include drinking too much, not sleeping well, getting a sore throat, or the child's hands often rubbing their eyes. Even if red blood streaks appear in your baby's eyes, there is no need to panic. You should always pay attention to the baby's condition. If you find that the red blood streaks are reduced, parents do not have to worry too much, because it means it is not caused by a disease.

The red blood streaks may also be caused by not sleeping well, or by accidentally touching the eyes, or by the baby rubbing his eyes. It is recommended to observe it for a while. If there are no other abnormalities, it is generally fine. The red bloodshot eyes of your baby may be caused by inflammation. Since children have a pure yang constitution, if the milk powder is too concentrated, they do not drink water, and they are dressed too much, it will cause inflammation and red bloodshot eyes.

If there are red bloodshot eyes in a child, it is usually due to conjunctivitis or inflammation, and requires careful care.

Usually, babies' eyes are red and bloodshot, and the possibility of bacterial infection cannot be ruled out. Parents are advised to seek medical attention for diagnosis, pay attention to the baby's eye hygiene, trim the baby's nails regularly, wash the baby's hands with running water, and the baby's utensils, toys, and protective gear need to be disinfected regularly. Parents also need to pay attention to their own personal hygiene.

In addition, if the baby's eyes are looking straight ahead and there are bloodshot in the whites of the eyes, it is best to check. If bloodshot is seen in the whites of the baby's eyes when he squints, it is normal.
