How to deal with redness in the corners of your child's eyes

There are generally two situations when the corners of a child's eyes turn red: one is caused by getting angry, when the corners of the eyes are filled with bloodshot. This problem can be prevented as long as you pay attention to your diet; but another situation is that the disease is caused by conjunctivitis. In this case, it is best to clean the corners of your eyes with warm water, do not rub your eyes frequently with your hands to avoid infection, and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

This is due to intrauterine infection of the newborn or contact with vaginal secretions containing bacteria during delivery, contaminated hands of the midwife, or unclean supplies that the newborn comes into contact with after birth. If the caregiver's hands, the child's own hands, or a towel that is not thoroughly disinfected is used to wipe the child's eyes, it will cause inflammation of the child's conjunctiva, resulting in excessive and sticky eye mucus. (2) Non-infectious factors: In some children, the nasolacrimal duct is blocked by epithelial cell residues or the nasolacrimal duct mucosa is blocked, causing tears and secretions in the tear duct to be retained in the lacrimal sac and causing dacryocystitis. Such children have a cystic tumor in the lacrimal sac with a slightly bluish surface. If the lacrimal sac on the inner side of the eye is gently pressed, mucous or mucopurulent secretions can be seen overflowing from the tear point at the lower edge of the inner corner of the eye, and the tumor disappears. Solution: Keep the indoor temperature and humidity moderate, open windows for ventilation twice a day for 20 minutes each time to ensure fresh indoor air. Do a good job of disinfecting the items used by children and ensure that all their supplies are clean and hygienic. For children with a lot of eye mucus and conjunctival congestion, you can use normal saline to clean the eyes, and then use 1% erythromycin eye drops or 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops three times a day during the day, and use chloramphenicol eye ointment at night. For children with nasolacrimal duct obstruction or dacryocystitis, ask a professional doctor to flush the tear duct, then use antibiotic eye drops 6 times a day, take oral antibiotics, and massage the lacrimal sac 3 times a day for treatment. Children with excessive eye mucus and tearing who have not responded well to antibiotic treatment should go to a professional hospital for examination and then receive targeted treatment.

Eyes are the windows to our soul, we must protect them well. Do not rub your eyes with your hands, and do not share the same bottle of eye drops or the same items with others to prevent mutual infection. When you feel discomfort in your eyes, do not use eye drops indiscriminately. Go to the hospital for examination in time and take medication according to the doctor's instructions.
