The human body needs to eat something every day. The main purpose of doing this is to provide the body with sufficient nutrition. The human body can be regarded as a machine. When adding food into it, some waste will also be produced, such as human excrement and so on. In addition to feces, eye mucus and earwax are also excretions of the human body. No matter how much, it is very normal. So, what is the reason for the baby's eyes to have a lot of eye mucus? 1. Stimulation of eyelashes Normally, when babies are 2-3 months old, they may have some white eye mucus on their eyes when they wake up in the morning. This is because the eyelashes tend to grow inward during this period, and the friction and stimulation of the eyeballs produces eye mucus. Generally, around 1 year old, eyelashes will grow outwards naturally and the eye mucus will gradually decrease. Elimination method: You can wipe it clean with a warm towel, or you can use a cotton swab dipped in 2% boric acid solution and gently wipe it from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye. 2. Getting angry There is heat accumulation in the baby's body, which is commonly known as "getting angry". It is often accompanied by symptoms such as intolerance to heat, easy sweating, dry stool, and thick tongue coating. Elimination method: Feed more water in normal times, take some Chinese medicine to clear away heat and fire, and relieve food stagnation when necessary, or go to the hospital for treatment. 3. Bacterial infection After the baby is born, many parents are afraid that the child will catch a cold, so the room temperature at home is often high, and bacteria are easy to multiply. In addition, the newborn will unconsciously rub his eyes with his hands, which can easily lead to symptoms of conjunctivitis such as increased eye secretions and conjunctival congestion. If a baby suddenly has a lot of yellow eye mucus, and the eyes are congested and red, it may be because bacteria have invaded the lacrimal sac, multiplied and festered inside, and the pus fills the entire lacrimal sac and cannot be excreted, so it accumulates in the corners of the eyes. This may lead to keratitis, in which the cornea may turn from black to white to form white spots. If not treated in time, it will affect the child's vision development. Solution: If this happens, do not use eye drops without authorization and go to the hospital for treatment immediately. In addition, personal hygiene should be emphasized. Do not share washbasins, towels and other bathing items with others to prevent cross infection. |
