The health of babies is fragile and requires careful care from parents in order to grow strong. Many novice parents may appear clumsy and make mistakes when taking care of their babies. When they see discomfort symptoms in their babies, they become extremely anxious. So, what if the baby's eyes are a little red around them? Let's take a look below.
What should I do if my baby's eyes are a little red around them
Red dots around a baby's eyes are a common phenomenon, and some babies enjoy using their fingers to catch their face and eyes. But some babies may be caused by allergies in the body, which requires a detailed investigation of the cause and corresponding treatment based on the severity of the condition.
What's wrong with the baby's red eyes
1. The redness of the baby's eyes may be closely related to the mother's diet, especially during breastfeeding. If the mother eats greasy or spicy foods, it is likely to cause the baby to have internal heat, which naturally leads to the occurrence of redness in the baby's eyes.
2. Parents should take good care of their baby's hygiene regularly. If they see their baby's nails growing, they should cut them. They should also encourage their baby to develop the good habit of washing their hands frequently. Rubbing their eyes when their hands are not clean can easily lead to red eyes.
3. If the baby's nasolacrimal duct is completely underdeveloped and becomes blocked, it can cause excessive eye discharge and even redness and swelling of the eyes. Mothers can massage the baby's nose bridge to help improve the nasolacrimal duct.
