In daily life, some babies may experience red eyelids, and parents are worried that it may be a problem with their eyes, causing great concern. If a baby has any discomfort, young people usually cannot tell their parents, so parents want to know what causes their baby's red eyelids?
Baby's red eyelids may be caused by local inflammation and allergies, as well as dacryocystitis caused by blocked nasolacrimal ducts or mosquito bites. In response to this situation, it is recommended that parents take their babies to the hospital for ophthalmology examination to see if there is substantial inflammation. If inflammation stimulates, they may apply some anti-inflammatory eye ointment and receive anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, it is important to encourage babies to drink plenty of water and maintain fresh indoor air.
If a baby has red eyelids, it may also be a symptom of eye discomfort caused by blepharitis and conjunctivitis. If the baby usually sheds tears, dacryocystitis should be considered. Parents can take their babies to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and under the guidance of a doctor, use eye drops to reduce inflammation. You can apply some anti-inflammatory ointment outside, and use a cotton swab dipped in physiological saline to clean the skin on the eyelids.
Parents should also consider that if their baby's eyelids are red, it may be due to internal heat. During the examination and treatment period, they can also take some vitamin C and eat more vegetables and fruits. If the baby still needs to breastfeed, the mother should pay attention to her diet and eat less spicy and greasy foods to prevent these foods from being absorbed by the baby through breast milk and seriously affecting the baby's health.
