Patient's question:
For the past two months, I have often rubbed my eyelids with my small hands. I carefully examined my eyes but didn't notice any symptoms of white or red eyelids, or swollen eyes. However, there is always some eye discharge from the baby every day. Why is this? Is there a problem with the baby's eyes? What...Doctor's answer:
The baby is rubbing his eyelids with his hands—this must be a problem with the eyelids or eyes. Whether it's through the naked eye or CT, it's only possible to see tangible lesions, not functional ones. Generally, it's due to excess heat, leading to a lot of eye discharge. This is often because the baby has eaten something hot. If the baby is breastfed, you can eat many cooling foods, such as cucumber, bitter gourd, and leafy greens, to reduce the heat. A seven-month-old baby can also be fed pure leafy green soup, which has a bitter taste. It's not cabbage; the names vary by region, but it's the kind with a bitter flavor.
