Eye droppings are oily substances secreted by the eyes during sleep, formed by the mixing of dust and tears that enter the eyes during the day. Some parents find that their children have a lot of eye droppings in their eyes, but they don't know the reason and are very worried about their children's health. What is the reason why children have a lot of eye droppings?
Children have a lot of eye droppings because they are relatively young and the embryo at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct has not completely degenerated, resulting in the formation of a normal outlet and the accumulation of tears and bacteria, leading to the formation of eye droppings. The environment where children are exposed to pollution is very serious, which can easily lead to bacteria and dust in their eyes, resulting in more eye droppings.
If a child's hands are not clean and they often rub their eyes with their hands, their eyes will become inflamed, and if they are infected with bacteria, they will have eye droppings. Children have insufficient digestive ability. If food is difficult to digest and accumulates in the body, it will cause internal heat and more eye droppings. Parents are advised to give their children plenty of water, clean their eye droppings in a timely manner, and keep their eyes clean.
If there is too much eye discharge and no treatment is given, the condition may worsen over time, leading to conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, etc., which can cause significant damage to the eyes. Parents can take their children to the hospital to have the doctor investigate the cause and prescribe medication for treatment. Taking medication on time can improve the condition of the eyes. During treatment, moderate eye use is necessary to avoid eye strain.
