Patient's question:
The baby's eye was scratched by a straw, with cuts on the corner of the eye. The white part of the eye was very red. The baby didn't cry and could see clearly without any pain. In the town hospital, the doctor said it wasn't serious and prescribed eye drops. The parents want to go to an ophthalmology hospital tomorrow for a thorough check-up, but they are quite worried today.Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the photos you purchased, it is a foreign body injury to the eye, resulting in subconjunctival hemorrhage. Based on your description, there is no need to be too concerned. You can use antibiotic eye drops today to reduce inflammation and avoid rubbing your eyes. It is recommended to visit the ophthalmology clinic of a local regular hospital for a thorough examination of your vision, conjunctiva, and cornea. The above is advice on the question "What should I do if a baby's eye is scratched by a straw," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
