Don’t worry if your child has red eyes and eye mucus, here are some tips for you

Children's health is the most concerning issue for every parent, so when their eyes become red and have eye mucus, parents will be very worried, so it is particularly important to find a scientific and effective treatment method. In fact, parents don’t need to worry too much about this situation. Chrysanthemum and licorice tea, chrysanthemum and hawthorn drink, and cassia bark and rock sugar drink are all good tips. Friends in need can try them.

1. Don’t worry if your child has eye mucus

It is very common for children to have eye mucus, but it is not common in adults. This is mainly because children have a more active metabolism. So parents don't need to worry.

The first thing mothers need to do is to help their children clean up the eye mucus. Parents should be careful not to wipe off the eye mucus directly with their fingers. It is best to use clean water or clean wipes to remove it little by little to avoid infection and conjunctivitis. In addition, make sure your children drink plenty of water, as water is the best medicine!

Let me tell parents a few more proven recipes, which I often tell parents in the outpatient clinic. Moms can save them!

2. Chrysanthemum and licorice tea for excessive eye mucus and red eyes

Children's eye mucus is mainly related to liver fire. Chinese medicine says that "the liver opens up to the eyes", so parents can go to the pharmacy to buy chrysanthemum and licorice, take 2 chrysanthemums and 2 slices of licorice, and soak them in water for the children to drink.

In this recipe, chrysanthemum clears the liver and improves eyesight, so its effectiveness is self-evident. Licorice itself has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. In addition, it can dispel superficial cold, nourish the middle and replenish Qi, clearing while nourishing.

Very small babies can drink 20 to 30 milliliters. Slightly older babies can drink about 50 milliliters. Even older babies can drink up to 100 milliliters.

3. Chrysanthemum and Hawthorn Drink for excessive eye mucus and food accumulation

Some children, in addition to eye mucus, also have food accumulation, such as abdominal bloating, bad breath, dry stool, etc. For these children, you can take 2 chrysanthemums and 3 hawthorn slices and soak them in water to drink, which can clear liver fire and digest food and relieve stagnation.

4. Long-term internal heat, cassia twig rock sugar drink

For some older children, mothers are particularly troubled because their children often get inflamed, have eye mucus, red eyes, and internal heat. At this time, you can use two cassia seeds and add rock sugar according to your taste. According to the "Bie Lu", Cassia seed "treats eye heat and pain, heat in the chest, large and small intestines, irritability in the heart, and heat in the stomach."

5. Chrysanthemum, Ophiopogon japonicus and Licorice Drink for excessive eye mucus and red throat

Some children have red throats in addition to excessive eye mucus and red eyes. Here I would like to remind all parents that if your child has swollen tonsils or often suffers from tonsillitis, you should pay attention, because tonsillitis can often cause fever in children. Therefore, we must take precautions in advance.

At this time, you can take 2 chrysanthemums, 3 Ophiopogon japonicus roots, and 2 slices of licorice. The Ophiopogon japonicus in the prescription has the effects of nourishing yin, moistening the lungs, and promoting body fluid, and it has a certain effect on relieving redness and swelling of the throat.
