The reason why baby has red spots in the eyes

Now the air quality outside is getting worse and worse. There is haze in the air outside, and a lot of bacteria enter people's lungs when they breathe it in. The air outside can easily cause bronchitis and many diseases, which makes friends very distressed. In the following article, let's find out why the baby's eyes are a little red?

How can parents observe if their baby’s eyes are developing abnormally?

Answer: Under normal circumstances, the baby's eyes are bright and crystal, the eyeballs are of moderate size, and they move freely. To observe whether there are any abnormalities in the baby's eye development, you can discover some problems as early as possible by looking at the size, shape, position, movement, color, etc. of the eyes.

If the pupil turns white, it is usually due to "white cataract"; if there is white substance in the pupil area, the baby may have "cataract"; if the baby squints to see things, pay attention to whether the baby has myopia; if the eyeball becomes larger, it is usually due to "congenital glaucoma"; if the eyeball swings back and forth to the left and right (or up and down), it is due to "nystagmus"; if the eyeball tilts to one side, it means "strabismus"; if you put a toy in front of the baby and the baby is indifferent and does not pick it up, the baby probably has poor eyesight and may have "optic nerve atrophy" and other fundus diseases; if you find white reflective objects in the baby's pupils in the dark at night, like cat's eyes, you should consider "retinal cell tumor"; if the eyeball is protruding, especially if one eye is protruding, be alert to "retrobulbar tumor".

Question: What is the reason why my baby has so much eye mucus? Is there any medicine that can treat it?

Answer: There is a lot of eye mucus because the baby's immune function is not yet fully developed, the conjunctival epithelium and lymphatic tissue are not fully developed, and there is a lack of tear secretion. Once infected by bacteria, conjunctivitis is very likely to occur, causing increased secretions (eye mucus). Of course, some babies suffer from conjunctivitis because their mothers suffer from diseases such as cervicitis and vaginitis, and conjunctivitis occurs due to eye infection during delivery.

During treatment, medication must be selected according to the specific circumstances. For conjunctivitis caused by bacteria, go to a qualified hospital for an eye mucus smear test to determine the type of bacteria and use targeted antibiotic eye drops or eye ointments for local treatment. However, the final diagnosis and treatment depend on the results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing.

From the article, we learned that the baby has red spots in his eyes. First of all, the mother should pay attention to this phenomenon. In order to prevent bacteria from appearing in the baby's eyes, you must pay timely attention to the baby to ensure the cleanliness of the eyes and do not let the child's eyes be infected with bacteria.
