Red eye disease is a common disease in daily life, and patients of all ages, including adults and children, may suffer from this condition. Because red eye disease is highly contagious, it is important to maintain eye hygiene in daily life and avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands as much as possible. So, what are the symptoms of red eye disease in a 2-month-old baby? How should we respond?
Red eye disease often occurs in 2-month-old infants, and their symptoms are similar to those of ordinary people. After the onset of the disease, there will be obvious redness and swelling of the eyelids, fear of light, significant increase in secretions, and may also be accompanied by fever. In many cases, the child will continue to shed tears, indicating that their eyes have been infected.
Because a 2-month-old baby is still too young to express their discomfort, parents must observe carefully. If a child suffers from red eye disease, in addition to the symptoms mentioned above, many patients will also have red blood streaks in their eyes, which will be particularly dry. At this time, do not let the child look at things in strong light, as it will aggravate the discomfort in the child's eyes and even make them feel unbearable pain.
If a baby in February is still breastfeeding and suffers from red eye disease, breastfeeding mothers must avoid eating spicy food to prevent the baby from getting overheated and worsening the condition. They should use a hot towel to apply to the child's eyes every day and maintain eye hygiene at all times.
