What to do if baby's eyes are swollen

Some parents find that their baby's eyelids are a little swollen when cleaning their baby's face. There are many factors that cause baby's eyelid edema. First of all, parents should not worry too much. They should first pay attention to the baby's daily living habits, and then carefully analyze the real reason for the baby's swollen eyelids. Don’t let your baby drink too much water before going to bed at night. First, it will affect the baby’s sleep, and second, it may cause edema of the baby’s eyelids.

1. The baby drinks too much water before going to bed or does not sleep well

The baby may drink too much water before going to bed, or may not sleep well, which may cause the baby's swollen eyes. As long as the baby is in good spirits and everything else is fine, there is no need to worry. This problem can be solved by trying to control the amount of water your baby drinks before going to bed and ensuring that your baby gets enough sleep.

2. Vitamin D deficiency

Children's bones are in the process of growth and development, and they need to supplement a certain amount of vitamin D every day. For babies, it is beneficial to take an appropriate amount of cod liver oil every day (3-4 drops of concentrated cod liver oil per day). How long to take cod liver oil depends on the child's physical development. In addition, the dosage of cod liver oil for babies is about one-fourth of that for adults. Before taking it, you should refer to the adult dosage and doctor's instructions to choose the dosage. If the baby's condition improves, reduce the dosage in time or even stop taking the medicine.

3. Kidney problems

Kidney disease in children often starts with swollen eyelids. At first, the child's eyelids were just a little swollen, and the parents did not pay enough attention to it. As a result, facial and lower limb edema appeared half a year later, and it was diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome and renal failure. If your baby has swollen eyelids and edema of the face and lower limbs, it is best to seek medical attention in time for routine blood tests, kidney function and other related tests, and then treat the baby after a clear diagnosis. Pay attention to preventing the occurrence of diseases such as nephrotic syndrome.

4. Uncomfortable pillow

A pillow that is too high or too low will cause the baby's eyes to be swollen after waking up in the morning, and it is also not conducive to the development of the baby's cervical spine. Suggestion: The bedding for the baby's sleep is very important. The baby must sleep in a comfortable environment to have a good sleep quality. Otherwise, the baby will always wake up for unknown reasons. The height of the pillow should be adjusted continuously as the baby's age increases.

1. Bad eye habits

   If your baby reads or studies in dim light, watches TV for a long time, watches TV at a very close distance, or often plays games or uses the computer, these will cause eye fatigue in your baby. Incorrect eye habits are the root cause of eye diseases. Simple redness and swelling of the eyes can recover after rest, but if it causes myopia, it will not be so easy to adjust or cure.

2. 6. Insect bites or allergies to certain substances

   In the hot summer, when the baby is bitten by mosquitoes or is allergic to certain substances, the baby may experience swollen eyelids.

   7. Local inflammation and infection of the eye

   When a baby's eyes are infected by bacteria and become inflamed, they will often show symptoms of redness and swelling of the eyes.
