What causes redness in the corners of children's eyes?

If the corners of a child's eyes are red, it may be caused by the child accidentally scratching them with his hands, or touching certain places. The red corners of the eyes may also be itchy. At this time, you should avoid the child scratching them with his hands, and pay close attention to whether the child's eyes have other abnormal symptoms. In short, the child's eyes are a very sensitive part, and parents must observe closely and take good care measures. The following may be the causes of this symptom.

First, I got angry.

Generally, babies need to be fed water in time in summer, but some mothers are careless and do not care, so the baby gets inflamed due to lack of water. After getting inflamed, the baby's eye mucus will increase and the eyes will turn red, so it is recommended that all mothers must feed the baby water in time in summer.

Second, it is also related to mother’s eating habits.

During the baby's breastfeeding period, the mother must pay attention to nutrition and not eat spicy and greasy food just for the sake of momentary pleasure. If she does, if the baby doesn't get irritated, who will? Therefore, in order to go to the hospital less often and for the healthy growth of the baby, I hope that all mothers can pay attention to the baby's diet during breastfeeding.

Third, you should take good care of your baby’s hygiene.

Check if your baby's nails are too long and then cut them. Also, please ask your baby to wash their hands frequently and develop this habit so that the baby will not rub his eyes with dirty hands. If you don't wash your hands, severe symptoms of conjunctivitis may occur.

Fourth, there is the problem of eyelashes.

When a baby's eyelashes grow, they sometimes turn inward, which will rub against the eyeball, causing an increase in eye mucus and red eyes. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to comb the baby's eyelashes.

Fifth, the baby’s nasolacrimal duct is not fully developed.

Tears cannot be discharged smoothly, causing excessive eye mucus, and in severe cases, the eyes will become red and swollen. Therefore, mothers should massage the baby's nose bridge every day to promote the development of the baby's nasolacrimal duct.

Sixth, redness in the corners of the baby's eyes may be subconjunctival hemorrhage

If the baby has experienced severe choking, vomiting, trauma, etc., and then the eyes appear red, then subconjunctival hemorrhage may be the cause. The rupture of small blood vessels in the conjunctiva and the collection of bleeding under the conjunctiva are called subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Mild cases of this disease can generally heal on their own. Cold compresses are recommended at the beginning, and hot compresses can be used as appropriate after three days. At the same time, parents should use wet cotton swabs to clean the baby's eyes. The above methods generally take effect in four to five days. If the baby does not improve within this number of days, then go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
