Everyone knows that the eyes are a fragile organ, so when there are problems with the eyes, they are usually serious issues. And when parents see their baby's eyes and encounter some problems, they are undoubtedly very worried and scared. So what should a one-and-a-half-year-old baby do if their eyes have problems? For example, what should a one and a half year old baby do if their eyes are red and bloodshot?
What should I do if my one and a half year old baby's eyes are red and bloodshot
Parents can choose to drink some pear water, winter melon water, water chestnut water, etc. for their children, while reducing the intake of meat and seafood. Dinner is dominated by thick Congee and noodles, increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits, and most can be alleviated by appropriately increasing or decreasing clothing. If the situation becomes more serious, it is necessary to see an ophthalmologist to decide whether to use anti-inflammatory eye drops at home. If it is still serious, parents need to take their children to the internal medicine department for timely treatment, control upper respiratory tract infections, and encourage children to wash their hands frequently, not use their fingers to wipe their noses or rub their eyes.
Why do one and a half year old babies have red eyes
1. Fire up. When autumn and winter come, with dry air and heating, the ventilation inside the house is poor, which can easily cause the baby to catch fire.
2. Infectious conjunctivitis. When a baby has a fever, cold, runny nose, or cough, they are prone to symptoms such as red eyes.
3. Congenital obstruction of the lacrimal duct. Normally, the eyes have a smooth tear drainage system, but if it is blocked, it can also cause the baby's eyes to turn red.
4. Inverted eyelashes. A baby's nose bridge bone is not fully developed, coupled with chubby cheeks, squeezing the lower eyelids can easily cause inverted eyelashes and make the baby's eyes red.
Therefore, due to the fragility of the baby's body, parents should avoid causing minor health problems in their daily lives when taking care of the baby due to internal heat and parting. At the same time, when the baby's eyes or other body organs have problems, they should be taken to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to see if they can recover their health as soon as possible.
