What should I do if my newborn baby has bloodshot eyes?

Having bloodshot eyes is a very common phenomenon, but bloodshot eyes in newborns are worthy of our concern and attention, because the development of newborns is still incomplete. So what should we parents do when we find bloodshot eyes in newborns? We must discover and treat it in time. Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.

Hello! There are small bloodshot eyes around your child's black eyeballs, which are probably caused by squeezing during birth. They will disappear on their own in time, so don't worry. Guidance: If a newborn starts to develop jaundice about four days after birth, it is considered neonatal jaundice, with physiological jaundice being the most common.

When the baby is in the womb, the oxygen supply is relatively insufficient, and in order to get as much oxygen as possible from the placenta, the body will produce more red blood cells to speed up the delivery of oxygen. However, there is sufficient oxygen in the air outside the womb, so the body does not need so many red blood cells. The extra red blood cells will be destroyed and release bilirubin. When the bilirubin concentration in the blood exceeds a certain value, yellowing will appear on the skin. Another reason is that bilirubin is metabolized in the liver, and children's liver function is not perfect and is not sufficient to promptly process the increased bilirubin in a short period of time. You can give your child some Yinzhihuang Granules to treat jaundice. If there is sunlight, getting more sun exposure can also help reduce the jaundice.

You can check whether the baby's entire eyeball is red. If the entire eyeball is red, it may be conjunctivitis and needs treatment. If there is only a little bloodshot, it may be that the baby's blood vessels are relatively tender, and the bleeding was caused by accidentally rubbing or pressing the eyes with the hands. It is generally not a problem.

1. Use artificial tears to reduce dryness.

2. Clean the eyelids to prevent the eyes from becoming inflamed and bloodshot due to debris, grease, bacteria, cosmetics and other dust.

3. If you feel heat in your body, drink more honey water, preferably one cup of 250ml a day.

4. Ensure sleep. You should get 7 hours of sleep every day. Adequate sleep helps moisturize the eyes and reduce bloodshot eyes.

5. Apply a cold towel to the eyes to constrict blood vessels and moisturize the eyes.

6. Wolfberry + rice: After cooking into porridge, add a little white sugar to treat blurred vision and tearing. Wolfberry + Chrysanthemum: Brew with hot water and drink to make eyes relaxed and bright.

It turns out that the bloodshot eyes of newborns are caused in the mother's womb, and some are affected by the environment. So we must discover it in time and treat our baby in time. Only in this way can our baby have a healthy body. Otherwise, it will affect our baby's development and make our baby very painful.
