What causes puffy eyes in babies?

If we work or play too long or too late, our eyes will become swollen. In short, the probability of eye swelling in adults is still relatively high, but many children also have symptoms of eye swelling, which makes their families very worried and more concerned about the specific causative factors. So, what is the reason for baby's puffy eyes? Let's take a closer look below.

1. Drinking too much water before going to bed. Some babies like to fall asleep with a bottle or drinking their mother's breast milk, which will cause them to drink too much water before going to bed. Whether the bottle contains milk or water, it contains water, and the same is true for breast milk. Babies should not eat or drink water within 1 hour before going to bed.

2. The pillow is uncomfortable. The bedding for babies is very important. Babies need to sleep in a comfortable environment to have a good sleep quality. Otherwise, the baby will always wake up for unknown reasons. The height of the pillow should be adjusted as the baby's age increases. A pillow that is too high or too low will make the baby's eyes swollen after getting up in the morning, and it is not conducive to the development of the baby's cervical spine.

3. Not getting enough rest. If the baby wakes up frequently at night or cries a lot, the baby will not get enough rest, and the baby will have red and swollen eyes when he wakes up the next day. This will happen to adults if they do not get enough rest, let alone a child.

4. Bad eye habits. If your baby reads or studies in dim light, watches TV for a long time, watches TV at a very close distance, or often plays games or uses the computer, these will cause eye fatigue in your baby. Incorrect eye habits are the root cause of eye diseases. Simple redness and swelling of the eyes can recover after rest, but if it causes myopia, it will not be so easy to adjust or cure.

5. Eye hygiene is not thorough. Frequent rubbing of the eyes with hands, or mixing the baby's towel with that of adults, causing bacterial infection, can easily cause the baby's eyes to swell, so the baby's eye hygiene work must be thorough, teach the child not to rub the eyes with the hands, and prepare a small towel separately for the baby.

6. Bacterial infection. Eye diseases must be treated in a professional ophthalmology hospital and cannot be treated at home.

7. Kidney problems

The above is an introduction to what causes swollen eyes in babies. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. There are many factors that cause children's swollen eyes, and different causes require different treatments. It is recommended that parents go to a regular hospital for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment when they find this situation. Targeted treatment may avoid more serious damage.
