What should I do if my baby has blue eye bags?

In daily life, if a baby has blue eye bags, it is actually caused by certain inducing factors. Once this happens, it means that the baby's eyes may have been damaged in some way. Therefore, the blue eyes of the baby need to be taken seriously by parents. So, what should be done if the baby's eye bags are blue?

Dark or blue circles under your baby's eyes are caused by blood accumulation around the eyes and in the thin eyelids. This may happen after an eye injury, so you should first check your baby's eyes for any injuries. However, sometimes injuries to the forehead may cause black or blue circles under the eyes.

Be sure to take your baby to the doctor to check if he or she just has a bruise around the eye, especially if you don't know what's going on. If your baby has both eyes that are black after a head injury, or if he has a nosebleed or bleeding in the whites of his eyes, your doctor will probably want to do further testing.

Another type of dark circles under the eyes may be caused by allergies in the baby. Allergies may cause slight dark circles under his eyes, which is called allergic dizziness.

If the dark circles are just caused by bruises, when the baby is uncomfortable, you can give him acetaminophen, or babies over 6 months old can also take ibuprofen. Be sure to pay attention to the appropriate dosage. If your baby has swelling under the eye, you can apply ice packs for 15 minutes a few times a day for the first 48 hours, provided he cooperates.

If you don't have ice packs at home, you can use a resealable plastic bag filled with ice cubes and water or some partially thawed frozen peas or corn. No matter which one you use, you need to wrap it in a towel or tissue before placing it on your baby's skin. You'll probably need to hold the cold pack on your baby the whole time, and you can read to him or play a quiet game during this time. Just gently place the ice pack around your baby's eyes, not directly on them.

You can use cold compresses to help reduce swelling, but there's nothing you can do about bruising. Of course, you can hug him more, kiss him, and comfort him. Most cases of dark or blue circles under the eyes will disappear within a week or 10 days. If they don't disappear after 14 days, you should take your child to see a doctor.

From the above, we can see that when a baby has blue eye bags, parents need to first find out the cause of the baby's blue eye bags before taking treatment measures. Generally speaking, for the development of baby's eye bags caused by different reasons, the choice of treatment method should also be symptomatic.
