Many mothers have observed that their babies have an increase in eye droppings. Some mothers help their babies clean them up but do not pay much attention to it, while others are worried that their babies may have health problems but do not know the specific reasons. So, what is the reason for the excessive eye droppings in 2-year-old children?
Excessive eye discharge in babies is usually caused by internal heat, as their digestive system is not yet fully developed. If they eat too much, have excess nutrients, or do not drink water for a long time, they are prone to internal heat. Some babies are caused by conjunctivitis, which is usually caused by bacteria or viruses. It is recommended to use antibiotic eye drops or apply antibiotic eye ointment. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a hospital.
Some smaller babies have more eye droppings due to drinking milk powder, which contains a lot of casein components, leading to symptoms of excessive eye droppings caused by internal heat. Breast milk contains natural oligosaccharides and rich nutrients, which will not cause internal heat in babies and are more conducive to their growth.
To prevent babies from getting overheated, it is first necessary to ensure their daily water intake. If they are breastfed, breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to a light diet and reduce the consumption of spicy and stimulating puffed foods. If it is a formula feeding, the formula can be diluted a bit, and the baby's room should be kept at a suitable temperature and humidity. If the weather is dry, a humidifier can be installed.
