Why do children have red eyes?

We know that under normal circumstances, human eyeballs are white, while pupils are brown or black, and the same is true for babies. However, some parents have found that their baby's eyes are particularly red, and they don't know why. Many parents are very worried about this. What is going on? Why do children’s eyes turn red? Could it be caused by some disease? Let us find out through the following text!

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

It is also related to the mother's diet. During the breastfeeding period, the mother must pay attention to nutrition. She should 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 our babies, I hope that all mothers can pay attention to their babies' diet during breastfeeding.

Keep your baby clean. Check if your baby's nails are too long and then cut them. Also, mothers are requested to wash their babies' hands frequently. If this habit is formed, the baby will not rub his eyes with dirty hands. If you don't wash your hands, severe symptoms of conjunctivitis may occur.

Another problem is the eyelashes. When the baby's eyelashes grow, they sometimes turn inward, which will rub 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.

Through the introduction above, I believe you already know why children’s eyes are red! When taking care of the baby, the mother must not be careless. She should carefully observe the baby's changes. If she finds that the baby has bad habits, she should actively correct them. If the baby's eyes are severely red, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
