What causes baby's swollen eyes?

When adults have swollen eyes, it is simply because they did not get enough rest or cried for too long. The body has a strong ability to adjust and can gradually restore our bodies to health. However, parents are very worried when their baby has swollen eyes, as it may cause serious consequences to the child's health. So, what is the reason for swollen eyes in babies? Let’s take a closer look below.

The reason for the baby's swollen eyes: drinking too much water the night before

If we adults drink too much water or have poor sleep quality the night before, it will easily cause puffy eyes the next day, and the same is true for babies. If the baby looks in good spirits, then mom and dad do not need to worry too much. As long as they control the baby's water intake at night and ensure the baby's good sleep, the baby's swollen eyes will disappear.

The reason for baby's swollen eyes: spleen and stomach dysfunction

Since the baby's circulatory system has not yet developed safely, and babies in the infant stage, whether breastfed or fed with complementary foods, mainly eat liquid food, it is easy for the baby's stomach to retain moisture, causing the baby's eyes to swollen. If the baby has already started to eat complementary foods, then mom and dad can choose to give the baby some complementary foods that are diuretic and spleen-strengthening. We have previously introduced to parents a recipe for complementary food suitable for five-month-old babies - the method of making banana-flavored corn milk paste, which can be added to the baby's food.

The reason why the baby's eyes are swollen: kidney function problems

Primary nephrotic syndrome in children can also cause puffy eyes in babies. If parents cannot find the cause of the baby's swollen eyes, they must take the baby to the hospital for examination and to confirm the cause. Urinalysis is an important method to detect kidney disease in babies. If the urine protein in the baby's urine routine test is positive, then parents should pay attention. The baby is likely to have kidney disease and the baby should be taken for timely treatment.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why babies have swollen eyes. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. There are many reasons that cause children's swollen eyes. Understanding these factors can help better prevent them and avoid affecting the child's body. At the same time, when similar situations occur, we must effectively solve them based on the cause to avoid causing more serious harm to the child's health.
