What should you do if your baby has an eye inflammation? Experts say that an inflamed baby's eye will present the same symptoms as an inflamed adult's eye, such as red, swollen, and bleeding eyes, constant tearing, etc. Sometimes the baby's eyes may not be able to open due to excessive eye mucus. For adults, some basic care can be taken, but for young children, this situation is actually very dangerous. The pathogens that cause neonatal conjunctivitis are mostly bacteria rather than viruses. The most common pathogens causing neonatal conjunctivitis are chlamydia and cocci. When these infections occur, parents should first consider taking their children to the hospital for treatment. Remember not to handle it on your own. Some basic methods for treating eye inflammation also require communication with a doctor before they can be implemented. Since babies have little care ability, basically all telephone care matters are done by adults.

You can use a sterilized gauze or cotton swab dipped in warm boiled water or sterile saline (preferably without dripping water) to gently clean the area around the eyes. Some basic eye drops may be needed to treat baby's eye inflammation. Some eye drops are too irritating to baby's eyes and are not recommended. Therefore, when choosing eye drops to treat your baby's eye inflammation, you should pay attention to the product instructions and consult a professional doctor.

The main reason for baby's eye inflammation is due to getting angry, or conjunctivitis caused by inflammatory infection. The baby should pay attention to temperature changes and prevent colds.
