What is the reason for newborn baby's swollen eyelids

Many newborns will encounter the problem of swollen eyelids. This is a common problem, and it also affects many parents. Because newborns live in the mother's womb for a long time, they have a process of adapting to the external environment, and their physical condition will also be like this. Pay more attention to their healthy life. If any disease is found, it is better to treat it in time.

1. Non-inflammatory eyelid swelling without congestion: The eyelid skin is the thinnest part of the skin on the whole body, and slight edema may first manifest as eyelid edema. Common causes include allergies, insect bites, angioedema, compression by tumors near the eyelids and eye sockets, lacrimal gland prolapse, blepharoplasty, chalazion, etc. Systemic diseases that may easily cause eyelid edema include chronic nephritis, hypothyroidism, severe cough, heart failure, etc.

2. Inflammatory eyelid swelling is accompanied by redness and pain: such as eyelid furuncle, tarsalgia, blepharitis, etc.

3. Conjunctival edema: The conjunctiva is a very thin, translucent membrane. When edematous, it bulges like a bubble. In severe cases, it protrudes out of the palpebral fissure, and you may even be unable to close your eyes. Edema not caused by inflammation is generally not congested. It is common in allergies, toxic reactions to drugs or chemicals, compression of tumors in the eyelids and eye sockets, foreign body reactions, etc.

Some people also have swollen eyelids. The main reason is kidney problems which can cause swollen eyelids. There are other reasons that can cause swollen eyes, such as drinking too much water before going to bed, etc.

It may be caused by getting angry and having insufficient qi and blood. In this case, you still need to adjust your child's diet. You can boil the white fungus until it is soft and chop it into pieces to make a sweet soup for your child; you can also grind the almonds and add some oats and raisins, brew it with water and give it to your child as a drink; or you can pour honey on fruits or cakes and give it to your child. Stye, also known as "stye", is an acute purulent inflammation of the eyelid. At the beginning, there will be local redness, swelling and pain, and then a blister smaller than a grain of rice will appear on the eyelid, which will be painful when pressed. After a period of redness and swelling, it will turn into pus, and after a few days, it will break through and discharge pus. Nursing methods: When a stye first appears, you can use the following methods. 1. You can use a clean hot towel for wet compress, 15 minutes each time, 3 times a day. 2. You can use a thread to prick the base of the middle finger on the opposite side of the child's affected eye. That is: when the child's right eye is affected, prick the base of the index finger of the left hand, and if the left eye is affected, prick the right hand. Note that the thread should not be too tight to avoid affecting the blood circulation of the child's fingers. 3. Apply eye ointment or eye drops to the affected area. 4. When the abscess matures, small abscesses will burst on their own and the pus can be wiped off with sterilized gauze; large abscesses need to be incised and drained in the hospital. After the pus comes out, apply antibiotic eye drops or eye ointment.

The above are the reasons for swollen eyelids in newborns. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In many cases, many parents will be nervous about the physical changes of their children. This state is very good. At the same time, don’t be too nervous. Many of them are very common phenomena. Observe your baby more. This is a very good choice.
