What causes swollen eye bags in children?

Generally speaking, some older people are prone to developing eye bags because the already thin skin around their eyes becomes thinner as they age, making it easy for eye bags to form. However, some parents find that their children also have bags under their eyes when they are very young. Parents generally do not pay too much attention to it, but when the baby's eye bags begin to swell, parents will become very anxious. So what is the cause of the baby's swollen eye bags?

Red and swollen dark eye bags are a symptom of kidney deficiency and water retention. Red and swollen upper and lower eye bags indicate spleen heat. Sunken eye sockets are mostly caused by a deficiency of body fluid or severe damage to Qi and blood. If you see a person who has been ill for a long time with sunken eyes, it means that the vital energy of his internal organs is depleted, the disease is difficult to cure or the prognosis is poor; if the vision is blurred or he cannot see things, it means that his vital energy has been lost, and it is a dangerous sign of separation of yin and yang. Bulging eyes, accompanied by swollen neck, increased appetite, weight loss, and irritability are symptoms of hyperthyroidism. If the eyes are bulging and accompanied by difficulty breathing, wheezing and inability to lie down, it is usually a symptom of emphysema. People with a bulging eye often have a tumor in the brain.

Red and swollen eyelids are usually caused by reduced internal organ function, which leads to water accumulation in the body. Most of them are caused by decreased kidney or gastrointestinal function, or heart disease. The specific situation requires comprehensive systemic symptoms and laboratory tests to determine. But generally speaking, most symptoms caused by acute nephritis are obvious in the morning. For people with poor heart function, edema will first appear in the legs and then gradually move upwards to the face, eyelids and other parts of the body.

This condition can easily be caused by getting angry, allergies, and poor sleep quality. You can use a hot towel for local heat compress and massage appropriately to relax muscles, promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. It is better to let children drink more boiled water and eat less snacks that are easy to cause heat.

1. Poor sleep leads to water retention: massage, take skin care products with calming effect, boil eggs with shells, cut them cross-sectionally, remove the yolks, and apply hot compresses on the eyes while they are still hot;

2. Certain diseases, such as kidney problems: Treat the disease.

3. Bad living habits, excessive use of eyes, drinking too much water before going to bed at night: just correct bad living habits.

4. Too much fat under the eyes: Use tea leaves as an eye mask (using the caffeine and polyphenols in it). If that doesn’t work, have eye liposuction.

5. Myopia is more likely to cause eye bags and fine lines, especially when you don’t wear glasses or wear glasses with insufficient power. You often have to squint, which causes muscle tension and contraction, forming wrinkles and eye bags.
