Causes of red and swollen eyes in children

The physical conditions of people of different age groups vary greatly, so for adults, there are not many restrictions on drug treatment and surgical treatment. However, for young children, drugs cannot be used at will, and there are great restrictions during treatment. If a child’s eyes are red and swollen, you must pay attention to it to avoid vision loss. Next, we will introduce in detail the reasons why children’s eyes are red and swollen.

The first reason: the baby may drink too much water before or during sleep; or the baby may not sleep well, drink too much water before going to bed, or have an improper sleeping posture, which may cause the baby's swollen eyes. As long as the baby is in good spirits and everything else is fine, there is no need to worry. This problem can be solved by trying to control the amount of water your baby drinks before going to bed and ensuring that your baby gets enough sleep.

The second reason: Swollen eyes may be caused by dry eyes or lack of vitamins. Children's bones are in the process of growth and development, and they need to supplement a certain amount of vitamin D every day. For babies, it is beneficial to take an appropriate amount of cod liver oil every day (3-4 drops of concentrated cod liver oil every day), especially for those growing in northern regions in winter. How long to take cod liver oil depends on the child's physical development.

The dosage of cod liver oil for babies is about one-fourth of that for adults. Please refer to the adult dosage and doctor's instructions to choose the dosage before taking it. If the baby's condition improves, reduce the dosage in time or even stop taking the medicine. In addition, you can also use some morphine eye drops for your baby's eye swelling, one drop each time, twice a day.

The above content is an introduction to the reasons why children’s eyes are red and swollen. If parents find that their children’s eyes are red and swollen, they should go to the hospital immediately. Of course, sometimes it is just because the eyes are infected by bacteria that cause redness and swelling, so don’t rush to seek medical treatment. Go to the hospital for a thorough examination, and then actively cooperate with the treatment to achieve good results.
