Patient's question:
The baby, who is two and a half weeks old, woke up from her nap today with redness under her eyes and some swelling. In the evening, she ate kiwi by herself, and 70% of her face turned red, but there were no bumps. She had never had an allergic reaction to kiwi before. This time, she ate the kiwi skin with her mouth. How can the redness go down? It hasn’t disappeared even after one night. I applied erythromycin ointment to her eyes.Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is likely caused by some allergies. You can focus on applying erythromycin ophthalmic ointment to the baby. Make sure the baby drinks more water, pay attention to keeping warm, maintain a light diet, and take good care of the baby. Avoid letting them eat random things. The baby's skin may be delicate, and the friction of kiwi skin on the skin could cause an allergic reaction. It is recommended to wait and see if there are no other symptoms. If the symptoms do not improve, go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. During this period, maintain a light diet, drink more water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
