What is the cause of the blue white of the child's eyes?

The blue symptoms of the whites of a child's eyes may be due to iron deficiency anemia or weak spleen and stomach, so you should pay more attention to the child's diet. Do not eat foods that irritate the stomach and eat more lean meat, egg yolks, lettuce and other foods rich in calcium. If the baby is still young and is breastfeeding, the mother needs to pay more attention.

The blue color is shown by the vascular membrane under the sclera - the choroid. A four-month-old baby will develop physiological anemia due to insufficient iron reserves. When anemic, the blood does not carry enough oxygen, and the color of the blood is not as bright red as when there is sufficient oxygen, and it appears blue on the sclera. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the child may have spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness. It could also be due to being frightened. If the child is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother supplement iron appropriately. The mother can eat more iron-rich foods such as pig blood, lean meat, egg yolks, lettuce, etc., or give the child vitamin C supplements to promote iron absorption. Because the child is a premature baby and the iron reserves brought from the mother are insufficient, it is best to give the child appropriate iron supplements to increase the iron reserves in the child's body.

The baby is anemic or lacks trace elements. It is recommended that the baby go to the hospital for testing, mainly to test trace elements. If the baby is iron or calcium deficient, parents should give the baby timely treatment; if it is anemia, the baby can be allowed to eat some blood-enriching food, combined with vitamin C, which can still promote iron absorption.

If the area around the baby's eyes, especially the bags under the eyes, is bluish. As the baby's family, you don't need to worry too much. Just take good care of the baby and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. When the weather gets warmer, add or remove clothes for your baby appropriately and don't cover him too much.

The most common reason why the whites of a baby's eyes turn blue is that the baby's body lacks some important substances, which are also very beneficial to the baby's growth. This kind of behavior in the baby also indicates that the baby's body is really malnourished. Parents can use these surface characteristics to determine what disease the baby will have and then treat the baby.
