My child's eyes suddenly became swollen. What happened?

Children under three years old are in the first critical period of growth and development. Parents will closely observe their children's physical condition. Many parents say that their children's eyes will suddenly become swollen, which causes the whole family to be worried. In fact, the sudden swelling of children's eyes is not necessarily caused by illness. In order to let parents understand the reasons more clearly, let's make a detailed introduction below.

The first reason: the baby may drink too much water before or during sleep; or the baby may not sleep well, drink too much water before going to bed, or have an improper sleeping posture, which may cause the baby's swollen eyes. As long as the baby is in good spirits and everything else is fine, there is no need to worry. This problem can be solved by trying to control the amount of water your baby drinks before going to bed and ensuring that your baby gets enough sleep.

The second reason: Swollen eyes may be caused by dry eyes or lack of vitamins. Children's bones are in the process of growth and development, and they need to supplement a certain amount of vitamin D every day. For children, it is beneficial to take an appropriate amount of cod liver oil every day (3-4 drops of concentrated cod liver oil per day), especially for those growing in northern regions in winter. How long to take cod liver oil depends on the child's physical development.

The last consideration is kidney disease. If the child's urine routine is normal, the child's weight is similar to that of his peers, and the morning urine is not turbid or bloody, then the child's kidney function is very good and it is impossible for the child to suffer from nephritis.

The above are several reasons why children's eyes suddenly become swollen. It is recommended that when a child has symptoms of red and swollen eyes, the disease should be ruled out in time. After confirming that it is not caused by the disease, the child's living habits and routines should be adjusted. In addition, it is also important to pay attention to the child's hand hygiene, because children often rub their eyes with their hands. If there are a large number of bacteria on their hands, it will also cause eye infection.
