What should I do if my baby always has eye mucus?

The baby always has eye mucus. Mostly it’s because the baby is getting hot. In summer weather, babies also need to replenish the various waters needed in their bodies in time. Once dehydration occurs, the baby's body will also send out some warnings. Let us now understand what to do if the baby always has eye boogers.

Due to the incomplete development of their body systems and organs, babies are particularly sensitive to changes in climate. The weather is dry in autumn and babies are prone to getting inflamed. For this reason, mothers should adjust their babies’ autumn diet in time and act as firefighters to prevent their babies from getting inflamed.

Child nutritionist's advice:

1. Adjust your baby’s diet in time to prevent “autumn dryness”.

2. Choose more coarse grains and beans that can clear away heat and dryness, such as oatmeal, yellow millet, corn, mung beans, white kidney beans, etc.;

3. Eat more seasonal fruits and vegetables in autumn, such as radish, green leafy vegetables, taro, pumpkin, cucumber, raw pear, etc. These seasonal fruits and vegetables have the effect of clearing heat and moistening the lungs;

4. Try to choose meat dishes that nourish yin and moisten dryness - duck meat, river fish, river shrimp, etc.

The indoor temperature and humidity are moderate. Open the windows for ventilation twice a day for 20 minutes each time to ensure fresh indoor air.

Do a good job of disinfecting the items used by children and ensure that all their supplies are clean and hygienic.

For children with a lot of eye mucus and conjunctival congestion, you can use normal saline to clean the eyes, and then use 1% erythromycin eye drops or 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops three times a day during the day, and use chloramphenicol eye ointment at night.

For children with nasolacrimal duct obstruction or dacryocystitis, ask a professional doctor to flush the tear duct, then use antibiotic eye drops 6 times a day, take oral antibiotics, and massage the lacrimal sac 3 times a day for treatment.

Children with excessive eye mucus and tearing who have not responded well to antibiotic treatment should go to a professional hospital for examination and then receive targeted treatment.

The above is the treatment method for babies who always have eye mucus. Never underestimate the condition of getting angry. Getting a sore throat can also cause more serious symptoms, especially children will be infected by viruses, so you can give your baby more fruits and vegetables in life to help them replenish the nutrients needed by their bodies.
