One eye of the child has yellow mucus

Everyone will have eye mucus, especially when they just wake up in the early morning, but if the eye mucus is particularly heavy and the color is particularly yellow, it should attract our attention. Because eye inflammation can cause excessive and yellow eye mucus. In addition, getting angry can also easily cause increased eye mucus. If the child's eye mucus is yellow and stuck to the eyelashes, parents can apply a wet compress with a sterilized cotton ball, and then use a different wet cotton ball to gently wipe from the inside of the eye to the outside of the eye.

1. What to do if your baby has a lot of yellow eye mucus?

1. If the eye is caused by inflammation or bacterial infection, it is not recommended for parents to use eye drops on their babies without authorization. It is best to seek medical attention in time and use medication appropriately.

2. If it is caused by physiological reasons, such as ingrown eyelashes, or because the baby's nasolacrimal duct is not completely unobstructed, it is recommended that parents just do daily care.

2. What are the reasons for the baby's excessive eye mucus?

1. Bacterial infection

If the baby not only has a lot of yellow and sticky eye mucus, but also has red and congested eyes, it means that the baby's lacrimal sac is infected by bacteria. Bacterial infection of the baby's lacrimal sac may cause keratitis, which may affect the baby's vision if not treated in time.

2. Getting angry

When babies get a sore throat from drinking milk powder, their eye mucus will become yellow and sticky. This is a normal phenomenon and parents don't need to panic.

3. Precautions for cleaning baby's eye mucus

1. Parents should not touch the baby's eyes directly with their hands, or use dirty and unhygienic towels to clean the baby's eyes. It is best to use sterile disposable gauze.

2. When parents clean their baby's eye boogers, they must avoid hurting his delicate eyes and must not use too much force.

3. When putting eye drops into your baby's eyes, keep him horizontal and facing away from the light. Parents can gently shake the baby so that he will open his eyes and let the parents put in the eye drops.

4. Parents should not use a towel to clean their baby's eyes repeatedly for a long time, as this will cause his eyes to be infected by bacteria.

5. Dietary care for babies with excessive eye mucus

1. Try to choose breastfeeding

Babies who are fed with milk are more prone to constipation, mostly because the casein content in milk is too high, which makes the stool dry and hard. Mothers should choose to breastfeed as much as possible, because breast milk contains oligosaccharides and rich nutrients and will not cause the baby to get irritated.

2. Pay attention to choosing complementary foods that are not easy to get angry

For babies who are bottle-fed, it is best to choose formula milk with better nutritional ingredients. If the baby has symptoms of constipation, the mother can dilute the milk powder. After the baby is 6 months old, the mother can cook carrot porridge or vegetable porridge for the baby, because vegetables contain a lot of fiber which can promote intestinal motility.
