What to do if your baby's face is swollen

Children's bodies are in the process of development. Their physical constitution is inherently weak and their self-protection awareness is relatively poor, which will lead to one condition or another. Edema is a common phenomenon. A baby's swollen face is usually a manifestation of edema. What should you do if your baby's face is swollen? The following care methods are provided to parents.

Facial edema often occurs in babies with poor blood circulation and metabolism. The body can maintain a healthy state because of the division activities of cells in the body, which then excrete carbon dioxide and waste. When the blood circulation is good, the water in the body will flow away continuously through the blood vessels, so that the body maintains balanced water. However, when blood circulation is poor, excess water accumulates in the body and is retained in the cells, causing edema.

Main care methods:

1. Pay attention to whether the baby's eyelids are swollen, whether the lip color is normal, and whether his mental state and complexion are good. If swelling starts in the face and then spreads to the whole body, there is a high possibility that you have kidney disease, but it may also be acute nephritis or kidney disease.

2. If the baby's facial swelling is not too serious, you can use some simple and easy massage methods to restore it, such as: gently pressing the cheeks with your fingertips. From the side of the earlobe to the side of the nose and cheek bone, press when the baby exhales, and relax when the baby inhales (left and right cheeks). Do this 10 times.

3. Nutritional imbalance caused by insufficient protein can also cause edema, so be sure to provide your baby with adequate nutrition.

4. If the baby's edema does not subside or worsens over a long period of time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible.

The above is the solution to the baby’s swollen face. Children have no sense of protection, so it usually depends on parents’ observation to find out whether the baby is sick. When we observe that the baby’s eyelids are swollen, we must treat it in time. First, we must go to the hospital for diagnosis, so that we can find a more scientific and reasonable method, and we must not use drugs indiscriminately.
