What should I do if my child has red bloodshot eyes?

Children's eyes are the part that needs to be protected, because eyes are the most important sensory organs for people, and the visual receiving and sending functions are all realized by the eyes. Therefore, eye problems can have a great impact on people's lives. Children's eyes have weak defenses and are easily affected by factors such as diseases. For example, what should we do if children have red bloodshot eyes? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

1. Usually the baby's eyes are red and bloodshot, and the possibility of bacterial infection cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that parents 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.

2. Apply ice and hot compress to the eyes: When eye fatigue occurs, you can use ice and hot compress alternately to soothe the eyes. This can quickly relieve fatigue and has a good relaxing effect on the muscles around the eyes. The same goes for hot compress. It should not exceed 5 minutes at a time. You can rotate your eyes up and down and left and right, and repeat several times. This can promote blood circulation around the eyes. It also has a good effect on improving the red bloodshot eyes caused by fatigue. This method is also suitable for people who have undergone cataract surgery.

3. You can eat more foods containing beta-carotene or carotenoids (lutein): carrots, papaya, pumpkin, green vegetables, etc. Some people will make some wolfberry tea or cassia seed tea in the office, which are very helpful for the eyes. Because lutein is the only nutrient in the human eye that can be converted into macular pigment.

Red blood streaks are very common. In addition to congenital genetic conditions, the main causes of red blood streaks on the face are the ones mentioned above. In daily life, everyone should pay more attention to avoid the occurrence of red blood streaks.
